Dear Dad, Happy New Year! Not sure why it’s happy , you’re not here and we’re in another lockdown trying to protect and keep each other safe. Last year on the 6th of January you called me asking to help you organise mums surprise birthday lunch. I told you that next year it’s her big […]
Dear Dad, Out of all of the years, it had to be this year that we all can’t be together! You better visit me too, don’t spend all day with mum 😉. It’s ok, you can stay with mum, let’s pray and hope that the virus doesn’t break any more families apart and that we […]
Dear Dad, 4 weeks until Boxing Day, will it be different this year? How can it ever be the same? Boxing Day would normally start with mum asking you to lay the table while she prepares the food. I think it’s the only time you actually enjoyed this job and what a grand job you […]

Dear Dad, Another month has passed, it’s 4 in total now since we last spoke! The sun has been shining lots! Do you remember when you came home from work and told us something funny had happened! A man walked past you as you were working under a car (my dad is a mechanic), he […]
