Hi smithy happy heavenly birthday to a fantastic guy bet my dave is with you and your both getting drunk no women I hope miss you both millions don't cause havoc up there rip ❤

Second Xmas without you dad .
Miss you more than words can explain xx
Happy heavenly Christmas dad xxxx

I know you loved my poems so here’s another for you .
THE FIRST YEAR X
The first year without you well what can I say
It destroyed us back then & still does to this day .
Nothing has got easier , give it time people say , but in fact it gets harder as I miss you more everyday .
365 days have past since that day that I saw you last , I still don’t get it it still doesn’t make sense , the pain stays with me it’s still so intense .
I try to stay focused & live my life everyday as I know if there’s a heaven you would want me this way . I try to make contact , I look up to the sky
I have a special star that’s the brightest up high . I ask it lots of questions but no answers come back , all I want to hear is “ I’m fine my nicnac .
So the first year without you has been hard & strained , I’ve cried so many tears & nothing is the same .
The mornings are darker without you here & the nights just get longer throughout the past year . I tell everyone about you & cant help but smile when I do , my chest puffed out proud when i speak about you .
Well dad if there’s a heaven & I hope that there is , I hope you can see me & an give me a kiss .
I pray you are happy cracking jokes like you did , telling your smithy stories with your smile so big .
I will continue my life , live through the pain as I’m sure deep inside I will see you again , but until that day comes don’t you ever forget that your nicnacnoo loves you with so much respect
