How are you up there? I hope you are happy and enjoying yourself, please look down on us from time to time and see how much we love you.
Katie, Gabriel and I came to see you today. We went to the church service at Bridell with Uncle Tom and Auntie Iris, Auntie Rosie, Auntie Margaret and Cathy. It's a nice service but they have some rotten hymns that no one knows and the organist God bless her only seems to know the one tune- you would find it amusing! Gabriel was delighted when Auntie Margaret gave him two toy cars and proceeded to have races through the service, using the hymn books as tunnels!
It was the first time Auntie Margaret has been to church since before Christmas, so the first time she had been to your grave. She didn't say much in the graveyard, like us all she was devastated when you died and I know you and her were particularly close growing up. Her hospitalisation and having to miss your funeral was, I suspect, very hard on her. Your family love you so much, we ALL do x
Auntie Rosie and Auntie Iris had been down to do your grave during the week. They have removed all the dead flowers, turned the earth over to make it neat and planted the bulbs I left in a pot for you. They had brought you flowers too, Katie and I also brought some down so your plot is looking very bright now.
I am missing you with all my heart, everyone is. As strange as it might seem I don't want to stop missing you, because I don't want to forget you. If I close my eyes I can still see you and hear your voice. It's been six weeks since you died, I think about you all the time and wish you were here.
Love you Daddy,
Helen xxx
