well cant believe its 8 years sand yet still seems like yesterday.we done what i promised by going to ireland last week and it was great retracking back to places we lived as kids and with mum and dad,just sad the 3 of you were'nt there though i expect you were in spirit,we seen the house where we used to feed the mouse when mum was'nt looking,the house where we saved the tadpoles all in jars under the beds.i would like to go again sometime cos dave wants to go aswell.life is ok here and all are plodding on,i miss you still all the time and that will never stop,wish you were here to chat to when i'm feeling low,well i chat to your pics but you don't answer back lol,hoping to go avebury your fav place but weathers crap at the minuteand hopefully kim,saff and kids will come too,gonna get a coffee now so bye for now,love ya lots xxxx 

well it is 5 years now and where does the years go,did you find ticky and have a good old boogie woogie.zara got married on your day which was odd but it was her choice so i had time to get used to it,strange to celebrate her wedding yet your leaving me.she looked stunning and the girls and matt looked handsome,it was a great day and im sure you were looking down.we were tears all round when they played your fav ub40,red wine at the end of the night.we wore butterfly stuff and purple in your memory which im sure you liked.well miss you always love kath xxxx

i hope you liked the lanterns we set off last night,2 of them landed in somones garden but hey ho,its still hard that your not here and im still waiting for you to do stuff to let me know your there,i know your busy visiting your girls and other people but fit me in eh? i got your photos dotted around but i still miss you,they still say that it gets easier as time goes by but that is rubbish,it still seems like yesterday that you went,only problem is, is that im sometimes finding it hard to remember your voice yet other days it is plain as day,strange that is'nt it ? we are gonna do avebury again cos you liked that place and meet up with bill later in the year and have a wine for you,hope all is ok with you,mum and dad up there sand,love and miss you always xxxx
