Happy Birthday

6 October 2011

Dear Dad,

Well mate, the god awful year of 'firsts' just keeps rolling.

Today would have been your 65th birthday, you would have been eligible to retire this year, and you were going to get tickets to go to Elton John with Mum in the new Stadium for your birthday. But instead you're never going to enjoy a single day of retirement, and Me and Jenny are going with Mum instead.

I really missed you today Dad.

I really miss you full stop.

We had an incident on Wednesday night where the wrong fuel type ended up in the wrong vehicle, and the first thing I thought was 'God I need to ring Dad and ask about this!'

But it's OK, we sorted it - even if you're not here to bail me out of any mechanical misadventures you at least bred enough confidence into me to stay calm in a situation and sort it out. So thanks.

I just miss you Dad.

I really bloody miss you.

Happy Birthday.

Love Cath
