Thoughts
Dad, you were taken from us far too young. You were younger than I am now. I lost you just at the time I was looking to you as more than my father, but as a friend I could come to when I was troubled or when I needed advice. You are sorely missed and you will never be forgotten!

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland

Dad, I can't believe how many years have passed since I lost you. I think about you and Mum often. I wish I could have witnessed your reunion. I know she never stopped loving you and even though she remarried she would talk about you often.
I feel bitter about losing you so young. I was only 14! The age when you start to see your father as a guide and mentor in life. I needed you so much.
I feel I have so much more in common with you than I had back then. I share your passion for photography and for classical music. I don't even know which composers were your favourite. I would give anything to be able to go back and have just one more day with you both. I will never forget either of you. I love you both so much. I miss both of you so much.

Dad, I've been thinking of you more as I get older. I can't believe you'll be gone 35 years this November. The years are flying by so quickly! I feel cheated that you were taken from me when I was just 14.
I feel I have so much in common with you now that I didn't have back then, Your passion for photography. Your passion for classical music.
I volunteer in a thrift shop. Today I came across a singer I know you were a big fan of. Nana Mouskari. You had several of her LP's. I had to buy the CD> I've never listened to her before. She had a beautiful voice. I now have something else I can treasure that will remind me of you.
Give mum a hug from me. I miss you both so much. I know mum missed you so much and even though she remarried she never forgot you or got over you. She used to talk about you all the time.
I'll see you both again one day. Until then I will never forget you.
And thank you for a wonderful childhood. I couldn't have asked for two better parents. I just wish you hadn't both been taken from me so soon.

Dad, today is the anniversary of mum's passing. I know she's happy with you now. She never got over losing you and although she later remarried, she never forgot you or stopped loving you. I know one day I'll see you both again. Until then I will never forget either of you.
