To My Dad, The Best Man I Will Ever Know. Today is my 53rd Birthday and I am so very sad that we aren't all here together to share the day. It would have been the best thing in the world to have had a pint together and watched some football just because we could and to all just simply be together. I love you so much Dad it hurts every day that I can't just sit with you, talk with you about nothing and give you a hug and our secret hand shake. I often think about all the amazing memories you made for us, all the holidays and fun times we all had as a family, all the times playing footy over the glebelands, carrying me up the stairs to bed, taking me fishing so early in the mornings when you never even liked fishing....so many memories that constantly come into my head of what an amazing man and perfect dad you always were. How I was so proud whenever I was playing football that you were there watching, it always made me try extra hard to have a good game and make you proud. Everything good in my life was because of you Dad...I love you and miss you so so much every day I don't know if you are watching but I have a routine that I say goodnight to you every night and have a little talk about things that happen day to day. Mum and Angie send their love too.....Sandra, Sasha and Candy are with you now and I hope you are all in a place where you are all healthy, safe and well and having some lovely times together. I love you all so much xxx Thank you for being my dad, the best dad I could have ever hoped for. I'm so proud of you and miss you so much every single day....even more so on days when I wish you were with us more than ever....like today. I know you want to be too but that can't happen....it's so unfair. I just want us all to be together so much. I love you with all my heart Dad, I always have and always will. Love always and forever. Your ever loving son David xxx
