I cant relate to that mate. I know he sniffs around these boards so hopefully he'll see this. I was unfortunately given a dad which is the opposite to me as a dad for how much i worship my sons so thats all ill say. My real father figure was my grandad whi was a dambuster in world war 2 and sadly died in 2017. I use everything i learnt from him to be the best dad i can for my lads
I have some of his ashes to take tomorrow, going to spread them round the Stokoe statute, I also have his cap to wear as the sun will be in my eyes (he always laughed at me squinting while he had his cap on) Its daft things I miss, he hasn't asked me 56 times what time the bus is leaving, what time i will be at his in the morning. God knows what he woukd have made of all these signings, he struggled enough with his eyes to make out the players last year, he would have been hopeless this season. One thing he would appreciate is I have the hip flask I bought him and it will be filled with a jura single malt tomorrow
12 weeks is no time. I would love to say how positive things can be but we both realize that things don't usually go that way at times. Speaking from experience, you'll have good days and bad days. There'll be days when you feel good and then there'll be that little reminder, whether it's a song on the radio or just something you see and pick up. The only positive I can give you is - hang onto those memories with everything you have, think about how your dad would love stuff that you're experiencing. That way he'll always be with you
Thanks mate. He's always here, I can hear him now calling me a tart and not to use the good whiskey in the hip flask
Feck it ill be honest now and not hide anything. Dad if your reading you are the reason why ive needed councilling previously as have both of your daughters, the sisters i love. The fact you even still exist pains me
I'm sure ya dad will be watching over you. It will be an emotional day but try and enjoy it. I'm sure ya dad would want you to.
