My dad was so much more than a father, he was my constant, my compass, my safe place and one of the greatest loves of my life. He faced more than most with extraordinary strength, yet never lost the kindness, humour and quiet steadiness that made him who he was. He loved his family fiercely, treasured his grandchildren, and was always there through every chapter of my life. I will miss his voice, his wisdom, our travels, our coffees and cocktails, and simply knowing he was there. Dad, you were my hero in life, and you always will be. What an honour it was to be your daughter. 💔
