Letter To Dad I lay awake for hours last night thinking of nothing in particular dad. Without realising it my thoughts had turned to you dad. I was thinking about how unfair it was that I couldn’t see you right now dad. When my heart hurt so much dad. As the tears began to roll down my cheeks I had to stifle my cries dad. I didn’t want to wake anyone in the house dad. I had a dream about you the other night, you came back to fix my car dad. Life isn’t the same without you dad. I miss your sense of humour dad. I miss your silliness and your sense of reason dad. I miss you so much dad, I am being selfish dad! Wishing you were still here dad. I will help to look after mum, you don’t have to worry about her dad. You’re at peace now, you have no pain now dad. I imagine you being able to walk now dad. Looking down and taking the piss out of us dad. One day I will see you again dad. When that day comes I won’t be letting you go again dad. I will be holding tight onto your hand for eternity dad. Because every Daughter knows that her dad will always be the one true hero dad. You were everyone’s hero, you got the award to prove it dad. You sleep tight now dad. I love you dad……..
