I woke up early the other morning thinking of you and I just needed a hug from you, I miss you, and I'm sorry I didn't do much with my life but grieve deep in my heart, something now I know now would have displeased you.
I can never understand why you were taken so early in my life when I needed you the most, or why I had to go thru so much torture from mother and edward (honeybee) yet thru it all I had your three grandsons and all that torture would be worth while as long as they are happy, safe and have fulfilling lives and every generation after me please guide my grandchildren to reach the heights they inspire to be in what ever choice they make.
I believe that you parp and uncle nip were at mother funeral because of the song that was sung after my speech for mother and I thankyou and our ancestors for being there for me

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal. -

I love you Dad sincerely Tania

Well Dad as you would know mother has passed away and I finally got to write that letter to her, I know you would have been proud of what it said ... everyone that knew what she was like were shutting in their pants as they don’t know me as much as they think they do ... I know you parp and uncle nip were around at the funeral ...
some days I miss you especially when I’m not well, the child in me wish’s you were here ... but as I get better I get stronger to emotionally stand ... happy birthday Dad ❤️

think of you a lot, as I try and make my way in this world as hard as it can get, I know you walk with me ... why did god have to take you so early ... you have some wonderful talented great grandchildren and some very strong grandsons you'd be very proud of, as I am. Dad i will never forget you lots of love

Hi Dad love to you always

Hi Dad I graduated from my music course learnt heaps haven't taken it any further as yet and haven't gotten into a band yet ... I also have 2 more grand children the new additions are Harper and Lilee, they are growing fine ... Laxon plays rugby and at the moment he is always winning the player of the day, he is a good little player and he just may make it into the all blacks if his Dad Campbell has his way lol ... Dad you are still in my thoughts and heart and me doing what I do I feel as if I've been given another chance to relive a life that had been swiped away from me when you got killed ... but doing the courses I'm doing has taken a lot of the pain away and God is my universe you are my Dad and I love you always
