Today would have been your 75th birthday and I miss you more than ever! I know your watching over and protecting me Dad. I wish more than anything that you were still here with me. I love you so much Dad ❤

Hi Dad, I’m thinking of you lots tonight on New Year’s Eve, ahead of what will be the 5th year without you here. I remember thinking how would I ever get this far without you, but time doesn’t stop and the years are going by so quickly. I miss you beyond words and I think of you so much. Bertie is almost 4 now and he knows so much about you! He always says hello to the robins we see and still enjoys visiting you and Nanny to lay flowers and make your headstone look nice. Another without you, but you’ll live in my heart for eternity. I miss you so so much and love you forever more. My Ernst. Happy New Year Dad xxx I hope you’re watching over us and I’m making you proud xxx

Thinking of you as always tonight Dad, missing you and remembering you and what an amazing Dad you were to me. You gave me so much strength and to know you were there whenever I needed you was so comforting. Bertie is growing up so fast, we talk of you often and come and visit you… and Nanny! He enjoys picking flowers for you both and helping make your headstone look nice :-) Oh I how I wish you could be here, and Sheila and just for it to be like it was. I don’t know where the time is going but life without you is still so hard at times. I love you so much my wonderful Dad xxxx
