Today is Dad’s birthday.
He would have been 82.
We had dinner at Mum’s tonight, to celebrate Dad’s birthday.
It was the first birthday that Dad wasn’t with us.
We had a photo of Dad in a frame, at the end of the table and we secured a party hat to the photo frame.
When dinner was finished we all thanked Dad for the lovely dinner.
It was really special.
Sound weird?
Maybe it is…but for us it works and it helps relieve some of the feelings of emptiness that now accompany these special family events.
Family was everything to Dad.
And he was everything to me.
Happy birthday Dad xx
