Thank you 🙏 to everyone who has donated so far, as some of you may know our Dad had diabetes.  Dad tried his hardest to control it, but a big lover of food, this was something dad found hard and sometimes old habits are hard to break. In time dad made better choices and learnt […]

Dear Dad, It’s been 14 months now, as much as I want you here, deep down I know that you and the family and friends you are with are definitely in a free and safer place! You undoubtedly (more than a year later this pandemic has for some countries got worse) would’ve been so upset […]

Dear Dad, Every time I end a letter to you, I always think this is my last. Then I have a chat with someone and they trigger off yet another hidden treasure! Dad, this particular event I actually had forgotten about, until Kawal mentioned it, We were in fits of laughter just remembering it. It’s […]

Dear Dad, Last year, the day before today was a bright sunny day. I know this because between us all we were going between the kitchen and the shed picking up the bunches of flowers, getting  them ready for you Dad, for your funeral on the 10th of March 2020. On 10th March 2020, waking […]

Dear Dad, Tomorrow this time last year (Tuesday 10th March 2020) would’ve been the day of your funeral. It would have been less than 2 weeks since you had left us! And boy was it a busy 2 weeks. When we left the hospital on the Wednesday 26th February 2020 for the very last time, […]

As I look out of my window today, Friday 26th February, it’s a blue sky, no clouds and warm for a February day.  That’s exactly how it was last year, I remember that as we sat in the Uber, how unusually bright and cloudless the sky was. Dad, even in February you can make the […]

Today is Thursday 25th February, last year this date fell on a Tuesday. I had decided not to come today as Kawal Bubbly and Suman were with you and mum. The girls sending me updates on the hour even if there was no change! And there wasn’t, you were as the nurses called it ‘stable’. […]

Last year this date was on a Monday, I get to the hospital at about 2:30. Visiting time is between 2pm and 8pm.  We are all taking it in turns to see you and speak to you. We know you can hear us. Not just because the doctors told us and it’s comforting to know […]

Dear Dad, I’m writing this with a heavy heart full of tears. Today, this time last year on a Sunday it’s 23:13 I walked into the Royal London hospital not knowing what I was to be faced with. Leaving the children at home with Pavan, we got the phone call telling us that you had […]

Dear Dad, ‘If’ is such a small word, but why does it mean so much ? If only I knew that today a year ago was the last time we’d meet. Would I have dressed up a bit more? If only I knew that today a year ago was the last time we’d talk. I […]
