Dear Dad

Dear Dad,

It feels strange not having you here anymore and knowing we won't see you again. I only wish I had been at home to see you one last time, but I won't dwell on that I take so much comfort in happiness in the fact we spoke on Monday and I got to say I love you. Instead we are going to try as hard as we can to live our lives to the fullest, make you proud and always remember the great times we have had with you. It saddens me more than I can ever begin to tell you that you'll never see me get engaged/married/have kids or make a great life for myself but that is why I've started this blog like an online diary to share everything that is happening in our lives in some way hoping you'll share the memories with us. We know you are looking down on us and I only hope that we will make you proud and you will be happy and at peace knowing we will all look after each other. You have been such an inspiration to me in my life and I hope you know that I can never thank you enough for what you've done for me  mum and I and giving me the most wonderful brother and sister, I will take care of them and I will strive to make them happy for the rest of their lives. I want you to know that through all of this sadness none of us are angry and none of us blame you for anything we just miss you so so much and want you to know how much we love you and also so happy in a very strange way that you've finally found peace.
I will never forget you, and I will live my life to the full always in honour of you. 
Love always, 
Em xxxx
