Dear Dad,
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
It's been a tough one, I know we never really used to 'do' Fathers Day, but it was still very strange buying Fathers Day cards for Mike and not grabbing one for you.
I miss you heaps Dad.
You've left one hell of a hole.
The kids are getting big now, Lucy's crawling (at speed!) and she's finally grown some hair! You'd love her, she's so cheeky, she's always got a perma-grin on her face, she's a very happy, contented little girl, she's the polar opposite of how serious Captain Grim was at the same age.
Cam's such a dude, I'm not sure of you'd have been proud or mortified at the way he was 'helping' yesterday when Mike changed the oil on the Toyota (Probably mortified!) but no damage was done, and like you always said - how else is he going to learn?
You'd be proud of Mike too - he's come a long way from when you met him, he did a complete service on the car yesterday, no hassles, no fuss, no frustration, you taught him well - not to mention you gave him the confidence to have a crack at these things by himself.
And I've been accepted into my Degree! Yay! I'm so relieved, I was having kittens about 'What if I don't get in?? Would I have wasted a whole year?' but now I can just sit back and keep working hard at my certificate without having to second guess myself. So in 3 1/2 more years I'm gonna be a real live Occupational Therapist! I know it's not the nursing degree I originally planned, but I think it fits me better. I really think I'm going to enjoy the next 3 years - exciting things are coming my way.
I wish you were here to see all these things, it's really strange moving on with our lives.
I took this photo today:
Springs here!
I miss you heaps Dad. I just hope that where ever you are, and what ever you're doing you know you're loved, you're missed and I hope to see you on the other side one day (not too soon though, k?)
Love you Dad
Cath
