For taking me on as your own (which I did not always make easy)
For the wonderful holidays and teaching me how to swim
For the days taken off work when I was sick or on my birthday to build the toys ready for when I got home
For the DIY jobs
For being my taxi driver
For all the BBQ's and delicious dinners
For the gardening assistance & fixing hutches to stop an escaping rabbit
For the laughs you gave us from telling stories of your mishaps over and over
For the love you showed to Gabriel, the most amazing Grandad he could ask for
For being my Mum's best friend
Thank you for being you. We will miss you forever xxx

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
