I miss you so much dad. Everything feels different without you. It’s so quiet in a way that doesn’t feel right, because you were never quiet. You were loud in the best way always talking, always laughing,
always filling the room with something. I miss you playing your guitar you were so talented and had the best taste in music, I miss it so much. I miss watching antiques shows with you I know how much you loved your antiques. And your jokes so silly, sometimes nonstop, but that was you so full of life unique and eccentric in every way. I think about your drawings too. The clipper ships. How you taught me how to draw when I was a child, how every time I drew something you would praise me and tell me I was brilliant even as an adult. I loved drawing with you and I will always remember during Covid how you and I used to stay awake all night just drawing together and watching Bob Ross. And Cornwall.The holidays we had there. The sea, the laughs, just being together. Those memories mean everything to me now. Life will never be the same without you now dad. I wish I could go back.Just for one more day with you. I wish I had one more hug, one more long conversation, one more laugh with you. I love you, Dad. More than I ever said enough.I hope you knew that.
I really hope you did. I’m so sorry I didn’t always answer your calls and I’d give anything just to see your name pop up on my phone once again just so I can listen to you rambling on and playing the guitar. I am so sorry dad and would give anything. I’d love the chance just to be able to tell you that I love you. I miss you every day. And I always will. You were the most funny, unique, sweet man and I thank you for being my dad. Thank you for the memories and rest in paradise, I can’t wait to see you again.
