JohnPENRYDad, 5 years ago today, my old life ended when I lost you. I still can’t believe how life can change in a moment. It feels like yesterday. It’s hard knowing that life will never be the same or complete again. My mind still talks to you, my heart still looks for you but my soul knows you’re at peace. Despite this, my heart breaks every time I think of you which is every day. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. When you died we lost so much - love, comfort, peace, reassurance and hope - just existing was hard. It’s taken until now to build a new normal. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday, unseen, unheard but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear. I know you’re watching over us Dad. We love you so much and feel your love living on. From your favourite umbrella that keeps us dry in the rain, to feeling peace when I sit in your chair and the plant you gave me that flowers in the kitchen. You are always with me and your memory lives on. The grief that I feel is simply love and I loved you so much. You gave us so much. Even in death you have given us a gift - a new appreciation for life, to know what is important, as well as to enjoy the simple things. Forever our Numero Uno - the best dad and grandad anyone could wish for. Until we meet again - all my love, for now and always H x
