Meeting you for the first time was one of the most scary feeling I've ever had face. Having a picture in my mind of you would be and meeting you face 2 face couldn't be more difrrent. Getting to know you made me understand Mich more and sharing moment with you like our Friday night fish and chips dinner are things that i will alway love. Your words, your patience, your guidence. Will be something I will never ever forget. Watching you and mich talk about the horses she was helping with was almost like watching two people speak in a foreign language but as you do it all starts to make sense and it eventually brings you to that level where want to give the horses a go. I gave in and you were both right horse are so calming for the mind the smell, calmness that they bring I now understand what you were telling me. Whish I had understood how to ready the racing form as I loved listening to trying to explain this to me. I now understand how others feel when I talk about I.T lol x When life decided to throw you a curve ball. You didn't flinch x Even when we were taking you to hospital appointments in Oxford or London you always stayed positive and never gave in. When you time came you accepted this with so much honour and being by your side for those final days and hours is something that will stay with me forever. I can say everything in those days changed me to my core as a man. My hope is that the fight that Michelle has taken up. Gets the answers you deserve. Mich and I know the truth It was an honour to meet you and I love and miss u.

4 years on Dad, would love to say it gets easier, but it doesn't. It gets harder as the memories seem to blur, and become a haze, so many lil things I did different, such as take more pictures, and videos, the little things you take for granted thinking there will be more time.. Hope your are watching down, and that I continue to do you proud. Love you always.
