Freddie’s operation is approaching grandad and I know you will be there with him, watching over him and keeping him safe while he is away from me. I wish I could speak to you so you could reassure me everything will be fine. We miss you so much. Xxx

Happy Father’s Day, Dad.

I wish more than anything that you were still here with us today. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about you and miss your voice, your smile, your strength, and the comfort you brought just by being near.

You were more than a father—you were my guide, my protector, and my biggest supporter. Today, I celebrate you with all the love in my heart. I hope you know how much you are still loved, how deeply you are missed, and how grateful I am for everything you gave me.

Thank you for being the amazing dad you were. I carry your love and lessons with me always.

With all my love,
Paul
