Its now been 6 weeks since i lost my Dad and 1 week since his funeral. Its not been easy at all. Me and my Dad had a special bond. When i was younger we dis everything together from going to cinema or car boots or garden centers. He taught me so much. Now trying to live life without him is difficult. Missing being able to call him or text him just to see how he is or to ask for advice. I feel like a part of me is missing and ive now got to learn who i am without him. Plus im taking each day as it comes if i think ahead i get too overwhelmed. Thinking about the future and milestones without him. I wish i could hear his voice one more time and take a walk with him and dance with him like we did at my wedding. He is my hero and i love him so much it hurts that he is gone.

I idolised my dad, as a child, followed him everywhere. I have a few voicemails on my phone that I play sometimes, just to hear his voice again 
Every day is tough now, it’s really hard to find the joy in life any more.
I hope we can all eventually find some peace and comfort in our memories
