Morning dad, had a nice weekend was suppose to go off in the van but the weather has been horrible, think they called it Storm Burt. So it has been raining and windy all weekend not as bad a some places. Went to pub to watch the Leeds game yesterday, that was entertaining, came home on the bus, that was an experience, bloody hell, think i may walk home next time. Good result for Leeds though and they are now top of the league. Cas are in training and the new fixtures for the start of the season has been released, Magic Weekend dates as well for May bank holiday next year. Not sure if we are going yet, we have a lot on next year. Miss you dad, love you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, went to the rugby last night to watch the 745 game, it was in aid of MND for Rob Burrow, Ed Slater and Doddie Weir. It was a cross code game and it was so funny to watch. They had all the old greats there some playing. It was really good but bloody cold stood there. Robs 7 team won 33-21, hope they do it again with the cross code (union and league) it really was good to watch, once we understood the rules haha. Looking forward to next year, hope to get to a few rugby games. Danny McGuire has taken over at Cas now, so hoping we do better than next year. Finished 10th. Magic weekend has been announced and its on the May bank holiday weekend, Cas will be playing Wakefield. Miss you dad, wish you were here to speak with, love you dad xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi dad, just been to Blackpool for the weekend to see Alison's mum and brother. Was lovely to see them but doesnt feel the same with Mick not being there. We did go out and play bingo, we even won which was nice. Back to reality now, back at work and stressed out haha. Another busy week at work, there are so many referrals coming from the hospital. Just having a little break and saw a robin in the garden which made me think, its been a while since i have wrote to you dad. I do miss you dad, love you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, its Bonfire night, remember, remember the 5th November. We aren't going to a Bonfire but we are having pie and peas with mint sauce of cause. Haven't really been up to much lately, we are going to Blackpool this weekend to see Alison's mum and brother and the weekend after we are going to Rugby to watch a charity match for MND We are in the process of doing the garden, well Alison is, i help were i can when im not at work. Its going to look lovely when we are done all being well. Helen will have moved houses by now, haven't heard from here in a while but i will message her and see how she is and if the move went well. I cant blame her for moving out of the house, too many memories i would have thought. Really do miss you dad, the world isnt the same without you being here. Love you dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, met up with Auntie Julie the other day, was really lovely to see her. We had a good catch up, it was nice. Well after the break in of the shed, we have made the garden more secure, having a fence put up between our garden and next doors so they wont be able to just step over the fence if they tried it again. We also have a gate put on to separate the front and back garden. And we now have a house alarm, which is taking some getting used to but we will get the hang of it. Having some security lights put up too. We haven't heard back from the insurance as yet but hopefully they have all they need, said it could take up to 3 weeks. Before we replace the bike will have to make sure that the shed is secure, we have a plan for that too. Its getting worse, not just here but the world in general. Hope you are all having a better time of it up there, please keep watching out for us and protecting us the best you can. Havent seen any robins lately but hoping that you are out there dad, looking out for me and watching over me, keeping me safe. Love and miss you dad loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi dad, sorry it’s been a while been a bit shit time to be honest. We had our shed broken into and the scumbags took one of our bikes. Thankfully only the one but that’s enough isn’t it. We are now in the process of securing our garden and home just in case. Haven’t slept very well since the break in. We went to Blackpool to see Alison’s mum it’s been a year since we lost Alison’s dad, that was a tough day. Met up with auntie Julie today, it was so nice to see her and to have a catch up. Things may have been different if you were still here dad, I’m sure you know what I mean. Love and miss you dad, wish you were here ❤️💎💔😔 xxxx

Hey dad, we are going to Blackpool today, it will be a year tomorrow since we lost Alison's dad Mick. He is missed so much, it has been a tough year for us all. We are going out for a meal on Sunday with Alison's mum and brother, which will be nice and no doubt will be going to the club tonight, but we dont mind that. Missing you dad, it really is rough time of year for us. Love you dad. xxxxxxxxxxxx

Four years ago today, you took your last breath and got your wings. Time seems to have flown by but it still feels like it was yesterday. We all miss you dad, and wish deeply that you were still with us. At least you are with Grandma and Grandad, Dawn and Claire, oh and Grandma Rowley. Say hello to everyone and tell them I miss them too. Love you dad, remembered forever and always, miss you xxxxx😔😢💎💔❤️

Morning dad, tomorrow will be four years since we lost you, when you took your last breath. We all miss you so much dad and wish that you were still here with us. Life just isn’t the same Love and miss you dad 💔😔😢💎 xxxx

Hi dad, just sat at work listening to John Miles, Music is my first love, trying hard to hold back the tears. That song gets me every time, got a right lump in my throat. Miss you so much dad, really do wish that you were here with us. Thought about you at Alison's brothers wedding as well, and Mick (Alison's dad) hoping that he may have been there on the day to see how happy Chris was. Our wedding was amazing and still talked about now, especially when you were singing for us. Love you loads dad, really do miss you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi dad, been to Blackpool this weekend for Alison's brother wedding. It was a really lovely day, but exhausting. It was nice to see everyone and to see the kids. We are going to Harrogate tomorrow for the caravan and motorhome show, see if we can afford anything haha. Cas have their last home game of the season on Friday, playing against Leigh, who have been playing really well lately do not sure where we stand. Could do with the win but at least we wont finish in last place. Oh and ive got Plantar Fasciitis, which is very bloody painful and it is driving me insane. Love and miss you dad, coming up to four years without you but only seems like yesterday, the loss is real xxxxxx

Hi dad, just wanted to talk to you, really not looking forward to next month and the more i think about the worse i feel. It will be four years since we lost you, a year since we had to say goodbye to Charley and a year since we lost Alison's dad Mick. Its just going to be really tough. Miss you dad, love you loads. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, just had a lovely week away to Tattershall Lakes with the family, had a bike ride into Woodhall Spa, love it around there and not to mention the RAF base, was amazing, didnt disappoint. We have been lucky this year, went to the lakes and back at work for a week and then holiday at Tattershall, was very nice but now back to reality, work, work, work. Spoke with Auntie Julie yesterday, told me about Helen, glad you were there to look out for her and keep her safe, we all miss you dad. Was the rugby Magic Weekend this weekend, Cas lost to Huddersfield, could have done with the win to move up the league but hey ho. Love and miss you dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, sorry i haven't wrote you for a while. We are going to York for the weekend to the Vanfest in our little camper van, we haven't been before so looking forward to it. Will be going to the Lake District soon as well, will be a nice break from work. I think i have a personal vendetta against Ants, they just keep coming back in the garden, its driving me crazy haha, they are like little stalkers that wont leave me alone haha. Wish i could ask how you have been, hope you are all watching over us. Ive been seeing Robins about and finding comfort in the fact that it may be someone we've lost watching out and letting me know that they are there. It was Charleys birthday on the 9th July, she would have been 16 years old, miss her so much, the house isnt the same without our fur babes, Poppy and Charley. Its Jessys birthday today, she just about to have birthday bath haha but will be taking her to Pets at Home later to pick out a new toy (spoilt i know) Love you dad, miss you loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, well we are in July now, not that you can tell with the weather, raining this morning. Had a lovely drive out to Tattershall Lakes yesterday, went to the air base as well which was amazing. We have booked a holiday at Tattershall Lakes with the kids cant wait to go and have loads of fun. Going to be difficult month, Charley's birthday month, Alisons dad birthday month, another month of firsts. Love you dad, miss you loads. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, just had a lovely weekend over in Blackpool to see Alison's mum. Before we went on Friday we went to the Leeds game it was very emotional as they celebrated the life of Rob Burrow. There literally was not a dry eye in the house. So sad. They invited past players to come and pay their own respects to Rob and his family. When his dad was interviewed and spoke about Rob, he broke down into tears, think that set off most of the stadium. Ended with a win for Leeds and the man of the match couldnt hold it together either and was very emotional. So then after the game we drove through the Blackpool, went out for a nice meal and went to club to watch a rock group, they were really good. Didnt win at Bingo but came close. Back to reality now, back to work, will see what this week throws at me haha. Love you dad, missing you loads. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Happy Father’s Day dad, love and miss you 💔❤️💎😔 Wishing everyday that you were still here with us, love you dad xxxxx

Hi dad, well the Euros have started, was the first game yesterday Germany and Scotland, no guesses who won. England play on Sunday I think 🤔 Cas played Wigan yesterday they only lost by two points, hope this is a good sign of things to come. Fathers Day tomorrow, going to be a tough day all round, first one for Alison and auntie Julie with grandad. Will be sending you a message tomorrow and thinking of you and grandad. Love you dad, miss you every day xxx 💎 ❤️😔

Hi dad, difficult week this week, it will be a year on Wednesday when we lost Poppy and it Fathers Day on Sunday, another year without you being here with us. Went to Headingley on Saturday, it was overwhelming to see all the flowers, shirts, scarfs, balloons, cards for Rob, we left a shirt each as well. It was the challenge cup final at the weekend as well Wigan and Warrington, guess who won..........yep thats right Wigan again. Miss you dad, just want to be able to ask how you have been and what you have been up too. Keep seeing Robins when we are out and about, auntie Julie would say that someone is watching over me, im hoping that its true but i dont know. Just wish there was a way we would speak again with those we have lost, miss you all. Love you dad, will be thinking of you on Sunday xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sad day today dad, rugby league lost a legend of the game, Rob Burrows. MND is a cruel and debilitating disease. Went to school with Rob, he was two years below me, he was only a year younger than me. RIP Rob 1982-2024 Makes you think about your life and what we are doing, just dont know whats around the corner. Love you dad, miss you loads. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, well what a weekend we have had. We had the kids over this weekend, lots of fun and walks haha. All we heard was "my legs are tired, are we there yet, can we rest here" haha. Leeds lost to Southampton yesterday, shame really would have been nice to have Leeds back in the premiership but there is always next season. Cas played Hull FC on Friday and won, Hull arent doing too well this season but at least its a win for Cas. We play Leeds next week, fingers crossed. Hope you are all ok up there, been seeing robins when ive been out and about and hoping that you are all looking out for me and watching over me. Miss you dad, miss you all, love you dad. xxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, working this weekend but i have Monday, thinking about having a ride through to Hawes, go to the cheese factory. Leeds are through the playoff final, they are playing Southampton, at Wembley, dont think it will be an easy game for them but fingers crossed. Cas have got a weekend off for the Challenge cup (since we got knocked out) we play Hull next Friday. Spoke with Auntie Julie the other day, she is doing well looking at booking some holidays which is good. We spoke about Grandads house and how she thinks it may have been sold, i did think about buying the house myself to keep it in the family, will seem strange to see someone else in the house. Still upsets me a little to think about not having grandma or grandad in the house. Good memories in that house, visiting. Miss you dad, love you loads dad. xxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, sorry its been a while. Had a lovely week off last week at Boroughbridge for a few days, lots of walks and drinks haha. Saw that Helen had been to Leeds to watch Keane, bet that was a good night. We are going to Blackpool this weekend to see Alisons mum, she hasnt been well so we are going to visit to cheer her up. Would be better if she was back in Wakefield, we could go round all the time. Update on Cas for you, well we won our last home game against London and we drew when we played Leigh so we are now on 5 points and i think 10th in the league. We have Saints this weekend and keep getting rid of key players. Miss you dad, love you dad xxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, it was the Grand National yesterday, Alison put a bet on but i dont think she won. I cant watch it, too upsetting for me. Miss you dad, love you xxxxxxxxx

Hi dad, well what a night Cas had, their first win of the super league season at home against Salford. We didnt go to the game but this will make you laugh, we have joined a working mens club. The local one near us, we joined on Monday and have to wait two week before we can become actual members. Cheap drinks too, its only £3.30 a pint. We went in last night and they had Northern Soul night (had to google what Northern Soul was, thought it was music) we didnt go but the music was alright. Miss you dad, love you dad xxxxxxxxxx

Hi dad, well Easter has been and gone, worked some of it but at least had the good Friday off, ended up walking to Castleford from our house, was a nice walk to be fair. We have made oursleves members of the local working mens club, Alison's idea but the drinks are cheap so thats a bonus. Just on the phone with the bank, think there is an issues with paying in, been waiting now 27 minutes, going to cost me a fortune. Cas arnt going very well, nothing new there i know, we did get our first win through against Batley for the Challenge Cup, next game is Wigan. But at least we last longer than Leeds who was knocked out by Saints. Leeds United are doing well, they are second in the league, if they keep it up will be back in the Premiership, fingers crossed anyway. Miss you dad, love you xxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, just had a lovely week off from work. We went on a road trip down the East Coast, roughing it in the campervan. The weather let us down on my birthday though so we came home. Sorting our mortgage out, we only have a small mortgage and hopefully we will be able to pay it off but will have to see what we can afford. Got a mortgage adviser so hopefully they will be able to support us. Had a lovely birthday though, quiet but was nice. Miss you dad, love you loads. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, well we scattered grandads ashes with his lady's at the crem, the weather was surprising nice and not that windy where we were stood. We saw two robins watching over us, hoping with all our hearts that it was family watching over us. Had a new tattoo done for Charley, its a Charlie Rose, lovely pink rose for my Charley bear. Not much has been happening really, oh well Cas have started out with three loses so far but to be fair the refereeing hasn't been consistent and the changes to the rule has made the game soft. Its hard to watch to be honest. But i live in hope as you being a Cas fan haha, will see what the other games bring, think we have Huddersfield next, should be interesting. Love you dad, miss you all loads. xxxxxxx

Morning dad, hope you all ok up there. We are meeting up on Sunday for Grandads birthday and the spread his ashes at the crem. Will be a sad day for everyone but at least he is with you all now, being remembered by us all. Really do miss you dad, have so much to tell you. Love you dad, miss you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Update on rugby for you, Cas lost their first game of the season against Wigan. A lot to say about the ref and the decisions he made. We got a red card for a questionable high tackle, they have made the game weak by changing all he rules. Anyway we have Salford this week away so fingers crossed but then again if the ref has anything to do with it, it will no doubt be another loss for us. They just dont want us in the superleague anymore!!! Love you dad, miss you xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, Happy Valentines Day. Went to our first rugby game of the year, it was a friendly for one of the Cas players testimonials. Was a good game to be fair. The super league season starts this week and Cas first game is at home against Wigan. I'm working Saturday so cant go to the game but at least its on TV. Will let you know the end result but dont think it will go in Cas favour, Wigan played amazing pre season. Miss you dad, wish we could speak about this face to face. Love you dad xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi dad, just sat listening to my DAD playlist, with some of your fav songs and some that remind me of you. Sat having a moment and thinking about days gone by. Wishing i could have one more day with you, to be able to speak with you face to face. To have a good old catch up with you. Anyway, hope everyone is alright up there, we all miss you loads and are sending you all love. Miss you dad, love you xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, sorry i didnt write yesterday. Grandad's funeral went as well as funerals go, it was a lovely send off for such a lovely man. Hope you are all up there now, reunited. In my heart you were all up there watching over us, keeping us all safe and comforted, wrapping your arms around us. Miss you dad, love you xxxxxxxxxx wish you were still with us.

Morning dad, i really want to ask how you are and what you have been up too when i write on here. I want to hear about your day and what work has been like for you, how you are managing in this cold weather haha (dont like the cold) I miss you dad, i wish we could have those conversations, to ask about each others day or week. So far this week, work has tested me no end, had a death yesterday and another that is end of life. There is always something going on, its draining all this death. Ally is really supportive, she has left the care industry but knows what its like, she's great, i know haha. Going to see my tattoo guy on 7th Feb, see what he can draw up for me to finish my lower leg and to have the girls paw prints design done too. Not sure where i want them yet but i have time to think about it. Will let you know what i decide. Love you dad, miss you loads xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, had a few days off work to reflect on what has been a tough start to the 2024 year. I thought last year was bad enough with all the loss we went through but then to start the year with a loss, it takes it out of you. Grandad's funeral is on 22nd January, same day we lost Nan and its been 20 years this year. You dont forget the ones you love and care about, i wont forget Nan, grandad, grandma, mick, poppy, charley or you dad, love and miss you all loads. We are all going to need you on 22nd, please watch over us, love and miss you dad xxxxxxxxxxx

Hey dad, we lost grandad on Tuesday he passed away peacefully. I only just missed him from what the nurse said. I hope grandad is with you all, miss you dad, love you loads 💔😔❤️💎 xxx

Happy New Year dad 2024 Hoping that this year will be better for us but not sure with how Grandad is, he's a fighter as we know, he's just not ready to leave us all yet. Stay close to us all dad, love and miss you loads. xxxxxxxxxxxx

Happy Birthday dad, 65 years old today wow. I will be having a drink for you later, its my nephews birthday today as well he is 16, where does the time go. Update on Grandad, they have sadly put him on end of life care, uncle Gary stayed over night with Grandad but myself and Auntie Julie went home. Been to see him again this morning before work, he was much better than he was when i left him last night surprisingly. He's clearly not ready to go yet. Watch over us all dad and grandma, im sure you will both be waiting for him. Hope our Claire is there too, 15 years since we lost her. Love you loads dad, miss you so much, really do wish you were here with us all. xxxx

Merry Christmas dad, sorry im a bit late. Found out that Grandad is in the hospital, hes had a stroke, going to see him today, see if there is anything i can do to help. Love you dad, its been a tough year already, wish you were here. Miss you xxxxxxxxx

Hi dad, well its Christmas Eve, im sat at working eating a McDonalds the joys of working weekends. Another year without you dad and the first Christmas without Poppy, Charley and Mick. Im not going to lie, im struggling with it all, just want to have my fur babies back with us and to be able to Facetime Alison's mum with her dad being there. How has this year been so cruel to us, really hard and difficult year. Love you dad, please look out for our fur babies and give them lots of cuddles from us. Miss you all so much xxxx

Morning dad, not long now before its Christmas and then from there your birthday, another year without you being here to celebrate with us. Really do miss you dad, wish you were still here, love you dad. xxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, sorry I haven’t wrote in a while, life has been busy. Miss you dad, this time of year isn’t easy for anyone, the run up to Christmas and we have already experienced firsts without the girls 🐶 🐶 and Alison’s dad. It’s tough, hard to be an adult sometimes. Love you dad 😔💎❤️ miss you so much xxx

Morning dad, just in Blackpool for the weekend before Alison starts her job. She has decided to leave the care industry for good and is now going to be working for Asda which is great (discount) so she starts next week and she’s looking forward to a new challenge. She’s been having a tough time since the loss of her dad, I know the feeling all too well, miss you so much dad, wish you were here to tell these things too. Went to the club and a singer came on and sang forever in blue jeans and beautiful noise, he wasn’t as good as you but I immediately thought of you. Love you dad, miss you loads xxx 💎❤️💔😔

Morning dad, took the older nieces and nephews to scare fest at the weekend, it was memorable and scary in places haha. We all had a lovely weekend and went bowling on Monday just to finish off an amazing weekend. It was a nice change for me and Ally and welcome distraction. It was Halloween yesterday, we didnt get any trick or treater but the weather has been wet and horrible, apparently there is another storm heading this way. Soon be bonfire night and i can have pie and peas with mint sauce, love it. Miss you dad, love you xxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, back in the office now at work, thought i had better show my face. We are both doing alright but is still there and we are still thinking about what we have been through since June. Work is a welcome distraction i guess. Miss you dad, love you xxxx

Hey dad, just sat at home thinking what we have done to deserve such crappy luck these past few months. Things haven’t been right since June and to be honest don’t seem to be getting any better. Feeling tired and fed up at min, missing you and Mick, wishing you were both here. Love and miss you so much dad xxx 💔💎😔

Three years today dad we said goodbye to you with your family and friend’s present. Love and miss you dad always xxx❤️💎💔😔

Morning dad, it’s the morning of Alison’s dads funeral, the day before yours was. Still feels surreal not having Mick here, been thinking a lot about you and listening to the Jazz singer album. Miss you dad, love you xxx

Come home for a few days from Blackpool, Alison stayed with her mum. Its feels surreal, Mick played a huge part in everyone's lives and to not have him around anymore, its hard, painful. He really was the best dad to Alison and father in law to me, he's missed dearly. When i came home on Sunday had to go to the garden centre for filters and food for the fish, yes fish but only gold fish, im not that good with as to have Koi. Neil Diamond, America came on the radio and it gave me comfort at the thought that it may be you dad, really do miss you. Love you dad and thank you for being my dad. xxxxxxxxx

We lost Alison’s dad yesterday, really can’t take much more this year dad. Went for a walk and heard cracklin rose on the radio, immediately thought of you and hoped that you were sending me a sign that you’re watching over me and Alison. Miss you so much dad, brings it all back. Helping Alison and her mum go through the funeral plan today, didn’t think it would be so hard having to do it all again. Love you dad, miss you so much 💔💎😔❤️ xxxx

Miss you loads.💙❤💎XxX

3 year ago today we had to say goodbye to you, love and miss you so much dad. Still doesn’t get any easier but I think being able to write on here in the hope that you may know that you are always in our thoughts ❤️💔😔💎 xxxx

Hi dad, we had to say goodbye to Charley yesterday, it has got to have been one of the worst days of my life. She has been with me for the last 15 years but her time had come and she was really struggling with her mobility and there was nothing more the vets could do. It has broken me to say goodbye to her but i know she is in a better place, pain free and no doubt running about with Poppy. Please look out for her dad and take good care of her for me (until we meet again), love you dad xxxxxxxxxxx Charley i miss you so much my baby girl, mummy loves you always. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, went to Tattershall lakes on Monday to have a look about, any excuse to see the Typhoon's at the RAF base and they didn't disappoint. Alison's dad has been moved to a nursing home in Blackpool, hopefully he will settle in and be looked after better than he was in hospital. Having to call the vets again this morning for Charley, see what they say. She is really struggling now with her mobility, i think it could be time. This month isn't easy and has been very trying since we lost you dad, may be that's just a coincidence, i don't know. I haven't spoken with Helen for a while, i know i should, will message her to make sure she is alright. Nearly three years on but still doesn't make it any easier dad, we all miss you very much and wish that you were still with us. Love you dad so much. xxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, just had a lovely week away with Alison's niece and nephew, they fought and we had tears but still have a nice week away before the school started for them. Back to work for me now. We had a meeting for Alison's dad, looks like he will have to go into a nursing home, he has been having seizures and has not been progressing as well as we all hoped he would. i hoped this year would be different but here we are again, we lost Poppy, Alison's dad had a stroke and Charley is struggling with her mobility even more now. I wish you were here to talk about this with, here we are in September again, the worse month ever. Miss you dad, love you loads xxxxxxx

Me again what a bank holiday. Friday 25th was our 44th wedding anniversary. You walked me down the aisle. Thursday we went to york races. I bet you were laughing your head off at me only 1 winner 🐎😣. There were horse's named bright diamond and Lincoln legacy. Yes I bet on them no bloody chance 😂. Had a good day though. Sunday had a bbq with Hayley Sam & Joseph rained most of day. Never mind we all got very drunk🍹🍷🍻🍖🍗 miss you loads love ya 💎❤💎😘xxx

Morning dad, today is my last day at work for a week, we are having Alison's niece and nephew for a week, fulfilling our auntie duties haha. We dont mind having the kids to be fair, we enjoy spending time with them for as long as they will allow us too. Alison's dad is still pretty much the same, no real change or progression. He is having good and bad day, we have a meeting next week to discuss things further and to potentially plan discharge. Charley's not been great with her walking, i mean she is 15 now but think shes feeling it more and more. Will have to see how she gets on this coming week. With Alison being mainly in Blackpool, ive been working from home so that i can be here for the girls. Anyway on lighter note, i have a week off and this is my day at work, so yippee. Love you dad, really do miss you xxxxxxxxxx I know i haven't mentioned it but we are getting very close to September and another year without you, miss you dad xxxx

Morning dad, sorry i havent wrote you for a few week. Allys dad isnt doing too good and he doesnt seem to be progressing very much. It may be that we have to look for a care home for him to stay in a for a short time. Allys mum wants to have him home but he would be too much for them at home, but will have to see what we can all do as a family. Having to split my time between Wakefield and Blackpool for the time being. Charley isnt doing too great either, her walking isnt great, having to keep an eye on her. Just has just celebrated her 15th Birthday which was nice but think she is feeling it now, bless her. Miss you dad, all this what is happening with Allys dad, just brings it all back, how you were and what more i could have done to support you, did i do right by you, did we meet your needs and wishes while at home. Really do miss you dad, love you loads. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Long time no contact. Just found your sight again while messing on my phone. Alls well here apart from missing you ta bits. It's Yorkshire Day today. Still carn't believe you have your wings. Need to have a good whinge & whine now and then with you big bro. Love & miss you. You'll always be here with me. Everytime I see a robin or hear one of your songs. Miss ya loads ❤💎💖💎😘😘😘XXX

Morning dad, just had a lovely week in the Lake District with the boys (nephews) walking, some hiking, paddle boarding, it’s been amazing. Think I could do with a week off myself to recharge. The months seem to be flying by, we are in August already. Miss you dad, love you, never forgotten ❤️😔 xxx

Morning dad, well where to start, been back and forth to Blackpool to see Alison's dad. He's having good and bad days at the moment, but he is improving slowly. He's getting fed up though and wants to go home but he isnt ready yet. We are going over again on Tuesday, for Alison's dad birthday on Wednesday, try and cheer him up a little. Cas arent doing very well, another lose at the weekend against Hull which means that we are still second from the bottom but Wakefield are at the bottom but only 2 points behind, all they need is one more win and they may go ahead of us. Cas play Wakefield soon so should be an interesting game. All to play for Really do miss you dad, wish you were here to speak with, keeping watching over us all and make us all safe. Miss you dad, love you loads xxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, feeling tired today, been a long week travelling back and forth from Blackpool. Looking forward to having a holiday at the end of the month, going to the lake district for a week. Alison's dad is doing alright, its a slow process and you can see he is getting fed up of being in hospital and agitated. He has a CT scan again this week to see about the bleeds, Alison is going back on Wednesday, im going to see what i can do with regards to work. Its one thing after another at the moment, but sure we will get through it. Love you dad, miss you xxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, so we are a week on since Alison's dad had his stroke. He has been moved from Preston to Blackpool hospital which is great and he seems to be ok at this time. He has an infection which isn't great but hopefully they have caught is early enough so that he doesn't develop into anything else. Going to see him again today, will have more of an update when the doctor has been to do his rounds. Fingers crossed they will agree to take out the NG feeding tube, hes not a fan of that. We are all ok, as well as can be, i have my moments and its upsetting to see Mick like that but he knows we all love him and he wants to get better, so thats a good sign. Miss you dad, really do wish you were still with us, love you xxxxx

Morning dad, sorry i havent wrote on here for a while. It was my first day back at work after having two week off, it was strange to come home and not have Poppy their to greet us, still feels surreal. Its taking some getting used too, keep saying "you three" and sharing the treats into three. Charley and Jessy have been alright i guess, a little quiet but we are trying to stick to our routine with them, best we can. We are in Blackpool at the moment, Alisons dad has had a stroke so we came here Monday evening when we got the call. Been to see him at the hospital, hes seems to be doing alright, hes positive which is great but still have a long way to go yet. Im going home today but leaving Alison here to be with her mum, coming back at the weekend to help where i can (not that i can do much at this time) Hoping for more positive news today when we go see him before i head back home with the girls. John is living with me as well at the moment (long story) hes ok but needs to learn to stand on his own two feet and get his own place (he agrees) will keep you posted on that one. Being at the hospital brought it all back, made me think about you and if we could have done things differently, but it was different then, we were in COVID outbreak and resources where limited. I hope you know that we did what we could for you at that time. You will never be forgotten, not while ever im around anyway haha. I miss you dad, love you. Keep your fingers crossed for Alisons dad, we all love him dearly. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Happy Father’s Day dad 💎❤️ Miss you, really wish you were still here, love you lots dad 💎❤️😔 xxx

Hey dad, not a great day today, we had to say goodbye to our dog 🐶 Poppy, she passed away this morning. We are all heartbroken 💔 😭 but we know she will be in a better place. Look out for her dad, love you 💎❤️ xxxx

Omg dad, Cas won Leeds at the magic weekend, honestly can’t believe we won against then again. So that’s three wins for us now, a grand total of 6 points but three big wins in front of Wakefield who are still at the bottom with no wins. Anyway love and miss you dad ❤️ 💎 xxx

Its Magic Weekend this weekend dad. Cas play Leeds, should be an interesting game, not sure we will win but stranger things have happened. Its the FA cup final as well Man City play Man UTD, a lot of sport this weekend and horse racing. My last shift at work today for two week, roll on 4pm Love you dad, miss you xxxxxxxxxx

So dad, if you didn't already know - Leeds United have been relegated from the Premiership, sad day. Cas arent doing much better they have only won two games and its the Magic Weekend at Newcastle this weekend, they play Leeds, last game on Saturday. I opted to work instead, not watching that rubbish haha. So i guess we will see what happens with Cas, if they can survive the Super league or if they get relegated to the Championship. Will keep you updated. Love you dad, wish you were here to tell these things too. xxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, tried to write on here yesterday but it wasnt having any of it?? Anyway im now, just wanted to let you know about our bank holiday weekend. We went through to Blackpool to see Alison's mum and dad and to help with the fence panels. We thought we were only changing the fence panels but as it turns out we got roped into painting them too haha. How sneaky, but we dont mind helping them out. Miss you dad, love you xxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, well Cas are out of the Challenge Cup they lost to Hull, to be fair so are Huddersfield and Leeds after they lost their games, oh and Wakefield. Leeds United aren't doing great either looks like they could be relegated from the Premiership, took them long enough to get back in but they haven't played well. Been a lovely weekend weather wise, not that i saw much of it was working the whole weekend but we both have next weekend off, going to see Alison's mum and dad in Blackpool. Miss you dad, wonder what you would have been doing this weekend, no doubt in the garden topping up your tan haha. Love you dad xxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, its painful being a Cas fan at the moment. We have only won two games out of 12 and the fans are not happy about it, me included. Haven't been to watch any games this season for Cas, haven't got the passion for it while ever they aren't performing. Some of the fans are asking for a refund on their season ticket. We were going to go to Magic Weekend at Newcastle this year but thought better against it. We are in the middle of decorating at the moment, we have moved down to the living room, Alison has been doing a great job at it. I apparently just get in the way haha (nothing changed there then from when i was a child) Miss you dad, love you xxxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, it was the Kings Charles coronation this weekend, was so lovely. We had planned to go to London to watch it from there but the girls had other ideas, Poppy and Charley thought they would be unwell instead so we decided to stay at home instead and watch it from the comforts of the living room. Anyway had a lovely weekend all the same, a few drinks and some nice food. What would you have been doing this weekend, i bet Lincoln had some lovely events on for the coronation. Love you dad, miss you so much. xxxxxxxx

1st of May today, bank holiday and im working, first shift back after having much deserved week off. Had a bit of a wobble in the supermarket this morning, they have the cards set out for Fathers Day (which isnt until June) wasnt expecting to see it and so wasnt prepared. It doesnt seem to get any easier also doesnt help that i am now listening to your playlist i have made up. Love and miss you dad, always. xxxxxxxx

Hey dad, just got back from a few days away in caravan. It was mine and Alison’s wedding anniversary on Sunday, four years married. Doesn’t seem that long ago to be honest, best day ever, having our families with us, hearing you sing, it was really the best day. Wouldn’t be the same now, you wouldn’t be there to sing for us for starters. Love you dad, miss you loads ❤️💎😔❤️ xxx

Helens birthday today dad, hope you spent the day with her. Miss you dad, love you 😔💎❤️ It’s mine and Alison’s wedding anniversary tomorrow, had such an amazing day, made all the more special with you singing. Will never forget that dad, thank you so much, miss you dad, love you 💎❤️😔 xxx

Hey dad, was the grand national yesterday, bet you have picked a winner or two 🐎 Miss you dad, wish you were still with us. We are still decorating the house, it’s hard when you are working as well but we are getting there. Love you dad, miss you 😔💎❤️ xxx

Morning dad, well that's Easter over and done with. This year is flying by again. In the middle of decorating, i had the task of undercoating the doors, i dont do the real painting haha thats Alisons job. Miss you dad, love you xxx

Easter 🐣 Sunday tomorrow, wonder what you would have been doing? Cas played Wakefield on Thursday and they won, that’s two wins so far this season, we have even moved up the table 10th now 🤣🤣 Leeds united are out of the relegation zone again, they keep drifting close to it but fingers crossed 🤞 for them. Miss you dad, love you 💎❤️😔 xxx

Morning dad, April Fools. Yep it’s the 1st April today, we are officially into a new month. Miss you dad, love you 💎❤️😔 xxx

Well thats another year gone. Can't believe Amanda was just up the road from us the other day. Just got a new fire put in. Back to coal & wood you just wouldn't believe it. Our coal industry gone and so many turning back to fire's. Steve so many changes in so little time you would have a fit. Miss ya big time ❤ XxX

Had a lovely birthday, went to York to the designer outlet and then ended up at the Yorkshire Air Museum, wow it was amazing i was running about the place like a kid. So much history and SOOOO many planes/jets to look at. We even got to sit in a plane that is being restored, BEST DAY EVER, or at least one of them. Wonder what you would have made of it all dad, bet you would have laughed at me with how i was about the different air crafts. Miss you dad, love you loads xxxxxxxxxx

Morning dad, well where to start….it’s my birthday today have the day off work so going shopping to spend Alison’s money 😂😂 Cas won their first game of season against Leeds, that’s was a good and much needed win. What else, oh yeah it’s been the Cheltenham festival, bet you would have had plenty of winners. Miss you dad, love you 💎😔❤️ xxxx

Hey dad, feeling a little bit more like myself again today. Had a bit of a wobble at the weekend, think it was due to sorting through boxes and seeing photos and memory's of everyone that has left us. Anyway as i say feel a little better today. Ready for a little holiday i think, wonder where you would be jet setting off too haha (somewhere warm) Love you dad, miss you. xxxxxxxxxx

Hey dad, not had a great day today, been a bit teary 🥺 and just not a good day. Miss you dad, love you 😔❤️💎 xxx

Hi dad, well what a start to the super league, Cas have lost their first three games of the season. So far we have played Hull FC, St Helens and Wigan, im not feeling confident that we will do well this year but we are only three games in. Fingers crossed. I have been keeping up to date with the football, Leeds United have only just made it out of the relegation zone, another team not doing that great. I may have to rethink the teams i support haha, just kidding, long time supporter of disappointing results. Miss you dad, would be nice to speak with you about this stuff sometimes. xxxx Love you dad xxxxxxxx

Morning dad, into March already, not sure where February went. But here we are in my birthday month. Had my braces off finally and just waiting to have my bridge fitted for a baby tooth that i have (its very loose and likely to drop out any day now) just call me toothless haha. This will make you laugh as well, went to get something out of the car the other day and hit myself with the car door in my face, bruised all my eye, dont ask how i did it, i have no idea. Miss you dad, would love to tell you these things in person but thats not to be, miss you dad, love you xxxx

Well we are into a new month, times flying by. Weather doesn't know what to do. Rain, sunshine, windy, no snow as yet. Our hols to the lakes cancelled😤. Maybe a good thing. It's likely to snow then. Nhs giving me a good going over. I'm getting my money's worth. Only thing is they are too slow I expect answers like yesterday. I keep intouch with Helen and our Amanda they are busy with work. Glad I'm lucky not to work any more. We've got a golf comp at weekend Tony's doing really well. Miss you loads 😘💎❤XXX Julie Xxx

Evening dad, sorry I’ve not wrote on here for a while, speak with you in my head. It’s the start of the super league this week, Cas play tomorrow against Hull FC but it’s away at Hull and I’m working so won’t be going. The two Hull team have signed a few Leeds players so we are calling them Hull Kingston Rhinos and Hull Whinos haha 😂 Miss you dad, love you ❤️💎😔 xxx

Into February already dad, January seems to have flown by. Alison had a lovely birthday, we went to Blackpool for the weekend to see Alison's mum and dad, played bingo and went to club to watch the entertainment. We have a trip to Harry Potter studio tour this month, cant wait, love Harry Potter and i know you did too dad. Miss you dad, love you, wish you where still here with us xxx

Morning well here we are Feb 1st. Wow got through dry January. Lets see what exciting things are in for us this year. First thing is our trip to Lakes is cancelled thought I could get away without driving😂. I hope our coach trip to Scotland is on. If not I'm staying in Yorkshire this year. Things are moving with my health. Chest x-ray, ultra sound scan,and yes caught up with me with blood pressure tabs & statins amazing you get in your 60's and shit hits the fan. You were taken from us far too young miss you loads. 😘💎❤XXX

Morning dad, another cold one this morning. Went out on the bikes yesterday, had ice on my jacket it was that cold (dont know what we thinking) good job we have electric bikes and get about a little quicker. All good here, been looking at booking our next caravan holiday, thinking of going up North near Alnwick. Was looking at Scotland but will see how we get on. Hope you are alright dad, seems silly to say. Look after yourself up there, well all miss you here, wish you were still with us. Love you dad, miss you loads. xxxxxxxx

Not been a great start to the New Year but hopefully things will start to get better, heres hoping anyway. Miss you dad, everyday, love you xxxxxxxxx

Sorry I’ve been quiet dad, had a lot on with work. It’s not good at min in the country, everyone is wanting to strike and the NHS is at capacity so has an effect on our workload. It’s just crazy out there. Miss you dad, love you ❤️😔 💎 xxx

Had a lovely Christmas Day, ate too much but was worth it. Got an electric guitar so the neighbours will love me haha. We could start a band dad, you as the singer and me on the guitar, Alison is taking about learning to play the drums so i reckon thats all we need. Miss you dad, would have loved to have been able to speak with you and tell you about the day. Love you dad always xxx

Morning dad and merry Christmas 🎄 we are here again another year without you. Please be with Helen today dad, I’m sure you will. Love and miss dad 😔❤️ xxx

Well Steve another heavenly Birthday. Our Mam's today hope you will all be partying up there. Miss you all ta bits. Always in my heart love ya loads.💎❤💙🎉 cheers🍻xxx

So cold this morning dad, not your kind of weather at all, very frosty. Anyway just wanted to check in, had a day off work yesterday, had a lovely day out at Knaresborough and went into Harrogate for a look around the shops. Your ears may have been burning, talking about our camping trips to Knaresborough, down the rapids in the dingy boat, so much fun. Miss you dad, love you xxxxx

Morning dad, well its been an interesting World Cup with some big names going out. England are through but they face France next so fingers crossed. Sent out our Christmas cards already, wasnt sure about the postal strikes so thought better get them sent. Cant believe we are in December already, dont know where this year has gone. Its still quiet without you dad, just knowing that you were there was enough. Miss you dad, will be another year without you, another birthday you will miss but we will all be here to have a drink for you. Love you always dad. xxxx Oh before i forget, we went to Blackpool to see Alisons mum and dad and went to the club as we do when we are there. They had a singer on and for some reason he spoilt himself by trying to sing Neil Diamond Crackling Rosie. I cant listen to anyone else singing Neil Diamond songs, makes me sad. Love you dad xxx

Hi Steve great to be back just need to keep chatting to you on here. Weird can't believe you have got your wings two years on. I've got this stupid cough had it for two weeks now. I'm 62 and it gives me a fright cos my ribs kill me. Went to see our Dad the other week I feel like I'm a outcast now. Our family has gone. I'll always have you in my heart miss you so much 💔💎💕❤💙😪love ya XXX

Hey dad, been away this week, much needed too been a hell of a few week to long to explain but I’m sure you know. World Cup has started England face USA this evening, should be interesting apparently we have never won them at a World Cup. Anyway dad love and miss you always xxx

Hi Steve sorry not been in touch for a while they keep kicking me off. Well Canada was brilliant apart from the traveling. Rugby world cup has been great to watch shame our men & women didn't get to finals. Our wheelchair team came up trumps though they won amazing. Christmas is creeping up on us so fast. Trying to find a card for Helen is very hard they all have brother & sister-in-law on them. Melts my heart 💔 miss ya like crazy. 💎💖XXX Julie XXX😘

OMG dad, what an eventful weekend, England lost to Samoa so they are out of the World Cup. The final will be Samoa and Australia, im shouting for Samoa. Leeds just missed out on beating Spurs, they lost 4-3 but sounded like a good match. A lot of sport this weekend. Work today and we are starting with a new system so i imagine there will be a few choice words being said, more than likely from me (oops i know) We are away for a week at the end of the month, half way through now, going in our caravan loving life and relaxing. Looking at going abroad next year all being well, will see how things go, since everything is going up. Times are tough for everyone, cost of living and all that. Love and miss you dad always, wish you were still here. xxxx

Morning dad, well England beat PNG and now they face Samoa in the Semi final but the match we will want to watch is the other semi final with Australia and New Zealand, that should be an epic game. Will keep you posted dad, love and miss you always. xxx

Morning dad, wow been a strange few weeks for so many different reasons but anyway England won their group stage so now they in the quarters and face PNG (should be an interesting match) fingers crossed for them but since the team is made up of mainly Wigan and St Helen players its hard to watch sometimes haha. Anyway on a lighter note we have booked our August holidays for the kids, only caravan holidays but im sure they will love it, spending time with their aunties. Do miss you dad, wish you were here to actually speak with you about this stuff. Love you dad, always. xxx

Hey dad, England won at the weekend against France for the rugby World Cup. We have Greece next, a win will see us at the top of the group and onto the quarters. Come on you England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 xxx

Forgot to say dad, the rugby league World Cup has started. England won their first game but we play France at the weekend. Should be a good game. Miss you dad ❤️💎💔😔 xxx

Hey dad, well we have survived Covid, just felt like having a bit of cold. So back at work now, had to work from home. Miss you dad, love you ❤️💎😔 xxx

Well time is flying by. Just been in a golf comp for the winners throughout the season played shite but never mind enjoyed it. Came home and put radio on guess what was playing. Sweet Caroline 🎶🎵you are always in my heart ❤miss you loads ❤💎💖 Xxx

Morning dad, sorry I haven’t wrote in here for a while. New update both me and Alison have COVID so not happy about it. We worked for two year during the pandemic didn’t get it once, to be fair though we are still working just from home. Just feels like having a cold. Miss you dad, would be nice to have a chat with you now and again. Coming up to the day we officially said goodbye to you, was a lovely service and would have been packed out of it wasn’t for COVID. Love and miss you dad always 💎😔💔❤️ xxx

Two years on still seems like yesterday we were all together. Miss you so much. Always in my heart. Big Hugs 💔💎😘XXX

We are here again dad, two year ago today I watched you take your last breath and say goodbye to us. It was only the year before that you came to my wedding and sang for us, best day ever. We won’t get to hear your amazing voice again and that breaks my heart dad. Miss you so much, love you dad 💔💎😔❤️ Xxxx

Morning dad, it’s the 24th tomorrow and another year without you. Seems to have flown by again, really not ready. Will be sending my love and hugs to Helen on yet another difficult day. Miss you dad, please look after Helen she is going to need you. Love you dad 💎💔😔😢 xxx

Morning dad, the weekend is getting closer but I’m not ready for another year without you. It’s harder some days than others. You are dearly missed dad, love you 💔💎😔 xxx

It’s the Queens funeral today, very sad day 😔 Not a great week dad as you know, 2 year passed and it’s still as raw. Miss you dad, love you 💔😢😔❤️💎 xxx

It’s been an emotional 😭 week dad, just so sad about the Queen and bringing back so many thoughts and emotions. The queens grandchildren did a vigil today, it’s all so sad 😞❤️💎😔 xxx

Hey dad, sorry I’ve been quiet. Had an amazing week away with the nephews at zip world love having the boys. Been back at work a week and I’m ready for my next break haha. Met up with some of the old work friends that went to our wedding and what should we talk about, you dad and how amazing it was that you sang at our wedding. It was wonderful and memorable. Miss you dad, love you ❤️😔❤️💎 xxx

Oh my word the heat wave is back. It would be ok if we had a pool to jump in 😎😂🌞. Not long now for our trip to Canada. They are pushing my limits changing the flight times 4 times now. I've even got to go change our train from London again.😩 We've just had covid too. Thank goodness we've had it before we go. Everything seems to be against us right now. There I go I've had my rant miss you so much. ❤💎😘XXX

Omg dad England lionesses have won the euro’s and what an amazing match it was. I’m sure you would have been watching it, brilliant game and tournament. Love and miss you dad 💎❤️😔⚽️ Sweet Caroline xxx

It’s the day of the final for the womens euros, can’t wait. Have my cider ready and the nephews are here too. Taking them away to wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 tomorrow to zip world. I think Helen had a good time with auntie Julie, what’s not to love about Yorkshire though. Love you dad miss you xxx 💎❤️💎❤️

Hey dad, just sat watching Star Trek the motion picture, thinking you’d be watching this too. Not much to catch you up on really, work is the same and they are now changing how we do things which is annoying. We are all well, looking forward to our next break from work, just another week of work left. Been watching the womens euros, we seem to be doing ok but it was very close with Spain, edge of the seat moments. Miss you dad, wish you were still here, love you dad 💎❤️😔xxx

Hi Steve well what a wonderful few days we've had with Helen. Finally she has been upto Hawes very emotional for her. Helen didn't realise how beautiful our Yorkshire is. She's on her way home now take care of her. Always in my heart. Miss you😘💎❤XXX

Morning dad, had a lovely weekend in Blackpool to see Alison’s mum and dad, went to a show as well. Not sure you would approve but it was Bat out of hell (meatloaf) 😊 it was really good to be fair. Work is pretty much the same, busy and relentless but hopefully will quiet down soon 🤞 Miss you dad, love you ❤️💎😔❤️ xxxx

Hi Steve just been talking to Helen today can't wait for her to come up next week. I'm taking her up to Hawes at long last she is gonna go there. Things you should have done places you should have seen. You were taken too soon miss ya so much. Big Hugs always in my heart ❤😘💎😘XXX

Morning dad, sorry I’ve been quiet had a lovely two week in the Lake District. Back at work last week and was greeted with no staff, a ton of referrals and assessments that need doing. I’m hoping that this week may be different (doubtful) anyway we are now in July and creeping closer to September. Been looking at booking some time off, go away in the caravan again. Miss you dad, love you ❤️💎😔xxxx

It's 7 years since our Mam took her wings. Doesn't seem that long it's the longest day of the year too. The day she passed was the longest day of my life. Just sat out with a nice glass of red and down floats a white feather. 😢 I'm writing this message to you as if you are still here. Strange how things work out. Miss you Steve love you always 💔💎❤XXX

Hey dad, tomorrow is Father’s Day and it’s another year without you being here. I’ll say it again, we may not have spoken everyday but at least I knew you were there. Miss you dad, going to be another tough day ahead. Going to see Alison’s mum and dad today, nice to see them, she’s so lucky to have them both. Love you dad xxx ❤️😔 💎

Hi Steve seems forever since I had my chat with you. Been busy visiting places and entertaining Tony's brother & sister-in-law from Canada. Well Father's Day is on Sunday Amanda will be feeling sad. 20th&21st are the days of our Dawn & our Mam's anniversary of taking their wings😢x. Today is supposed to be the hottest day so far. Water fight seems on the cards with our Joseph today 😂. Miss you loads wish I could have this chat with you in person. You left us far too soon you'll always be with me. ❤💔💎😘XXX

Hey dad, this is going to sound strange but not sure if you have been watching over me or someone else. Miss you dad, not looking forward to this Sunday. Love and miss you dad ❤️😔 xxx

Hey dad, Father’s Day is fast approaching, the second year without you and it’s no easy than the first. I wish that you were still with us, to see your smile and hear your voice, I miss you dad so much, love you ❤️😔😢 xxxx

Evening dad, its the queens platinum jubilee and we got an extra bank holiday. Well most did but I volunteered to work (still not sure why) so at work again tomorrow for my sins. Miss you dad, wonder what you would have been doing with your time off. Love and miss you dad ❤️😔 xxx

Morning dad, well you’ll never guess what the queen’s jubilee song is “sweet Caroline” always think of you when I hear that song, love and miss you dad ❤️❤️ Xxx

Hey dad so Leeds united have managed to remain in the premier league for another season but it was close. Cas lost to Salford 🤬 not good but hopefully we can improve. It’s 5 year today when the Manchester bombing took place if you can believe that. Time is flying by we will be in June before we know it. Miss you dad, love you ❤️❤️ xxx

Morning dad, just to update Liverpool won against Chelsea for the FA cup. Leeds need to win to stay out of the relegation zone. Cas won comfortably against Hull KR on Sunday. Didn’t go though, we are in Blackpool for a few days to see Alison mum and dad. Oh the van is fixable but doubtful if we will get it back before we are away in June so looks like we are left with the pick up we have. Caravan in for its service so should be all ready for when we go. What else?? Did I tell you we started back to the gym, seems to be going well up to know. Although don’t think I’ve lost any weight and I’ve got a swollen ankle. Not sure if you’ve been around dad, miss you, wish you were still here with us. Love you dad 😔❤️ xxx

Evening dad, been a well of a week again. Speak to you pretty much everyday on my way to the gym or to work. Miss you dad, wish you were here xxx

Evening dad, hope you’re ok up there watching over us all. We went to see Alison’s mum and dad at Blackpool last weekend and the singer at the club sang sweet Caroline. Wasn’t a patch on you dad, no one is. Still upsets me the hear the song though, more so when others try to sing them. Wish you were here dad, can’t believe how quickly this year is going by. Love you dad 😔❤️ 💎 xxx

Morning dad, just wanted to say that I miss you 😢 ❤️😔 xxx

Wow what a day today. Tony got a hole in one at Boothferry and he only went and won the comp aswell. He's buzzing he says thats one crossed off his bucket list. Miss you 😘💎❤XXX

Helens birthday 🥳 today. Hope you was able to be with her today dad and let her know that she is loved ❤️ We all miss you dad, love you ❤️ xxxx

Hey dad, so the van is being picked up tomorrow fingers crossed they can fix it for us. Ally is a little better today but still sore and stiff. We get the replacement vehicle tomorrow, at least if the van isn’t ready we can still go on our holiday in June. Can’t wait for that. Helens birthday soon and our three year anniversary, seems to have flown by. Miss you dad, really wish you were here with us. Love you dad xxxx

Well Easter is over. We've had a brilliant weekend Tony had his Birthday glider flight. Then I've just read our Amanda's messages poor girl things aren't going too good for them both at the moment. Bless them they need some good luck. She misses her Dad so much. Always thinking of you love n miss you. 😘❤💎XXX

Morning dad, day after the accident and Ally is just a little sore and stiff. Honestly dad starting to think we are cursed or something. We had the wing mirror hit the other by a work van and now this. Great start to the Easter break for us. Love you dad, wish you were here ❤️❤️ xxx

Hey dad, what a day it’s been. Alison was in an accident while in the van. Another van had run into the back of her, so got a frantic phone call from her. I was at work so rushed to be with her, Alison was taken to hospital but thankfully she is now home and alright. Looks like the van could be a right off too but hopefully not, fingers crossed. So we are having a great start to our Easter 🐣 Anyway Cas won Wakefield on Thursday which was good for us. Miss you dad, love you ❤️😔 let’s hope tomorrow is a better day xxxx

Well dad, looks like Cas are out of the challenge cup, lost last night to Hull KR. Grand National today, not a fan of horse racing myself but I know that you will no doubt be watching it. Miss you dad, love you ❤️❤️ xxx

Hey dad, Cas won again on Friday against Toulouse, we have Hull KR next for the challenge cup, should be interesting. Been a busy week, doesn’t feel like we have just had a week, will be ready for another soon. Miss you dad, love you ❤️😔 xxxx

Morning dad, had a lovely birthday on Sunday it was quiet and nice to be with Alison and the girls. We are away in the caravan at min and it’s so far been a great week weather wise. Planning on going to some nice gardens and maybe some historical houses if they are open. Miss you dad, love you ❤️❤️❤️ Xxxx

Amanda's birthday today. I'm sure you will be shining down on her. 🌟🎂🍺🎉💎❤XXX

Well we are officially on count down just two more days of work and we are on annual leave for a week and then just four more sleeps till my birthday. Another birthday without my dad being here 😔 miss you dad, love you ❤️❤️ xxx

Oh dad, well another loss for Cas but to be fair Huddersfield are playing really well. On to the next game. Love and miss you dad xxx

Well what a week. Nothing going right Putin thinks he's Hitler. Not a mention of covid. Even played like an arse at golf. Went out tonight for a few jars can home and played cards with Mr B lost a fiver to him too 😩. Best thing though saw my robin and heard Neil Diamond on radio today love and miss you loads ❤💎💔😘XXX

Hey dad, I wonder what you would make of this what’s happening in the world right now. The world has gone mad and we are all probably going to die at the hand of a Russian dictator who thinks he’s a modern day hitler with Nuclear weapons, crazy. Anyway life is pretty rubbish right not to be honest, got a lot going on at work and in the family, won’t bore you with all that. Just want to say that I miss you dad, I miss not having you there, love you dad xxx

Sat watching a programme on Tesco and all I can think about is you dad. Miss you dad, love you ❤️❤️xxxx

Well dad, been a hell of a week again. Cas lost again that’s two in a row, not the best start to the season. It’s a good job that we are used to the heart break, Cas till I die xxxx love and miss you dad xxx

Hey dad, so not the great start to the super league we wanted, Cas lost to Salford. Leeds lost to Warrington and even Wakefield lost to Hull. But still plenty of games to go so hopefully this week will be different, fingers crossed 🤞 Valentine’s Day today, hope your watching over Helen today, won’t be an easy day for her. Love and miss you dad xxx

Well dad is was a the start of the Super League last night, Saints V Catalan. Full of fisty cuffs and players being sin binned and even a red card. Was a decent game to watch too, Saints won, so they are off to a good start. Cas play tonight again Salford, i don't think it will be an easy game for us but i do hope we win. I will be going to cheer the boys on and then being dragged to the Leeds game on Saturday with Alison, i know what your thinking but i did promise that we would try to get to the opening games of both teams. To be fair Leeds are playing against Warrington and Daryl Powell is their coach now so i do hope Leeds win that game. Dont worry i will keep you updated with the results, will be thinking of you too down at Weldon Road. Miss you dad, wish i could actually have this conversation with you in person. Love you dad xxxx

Morning dad, had a pretty rough end to last week. At work i had two patients die over two days. I had worked so much with their families, it was really hard to keep my emotions in and i cried at work. Never done that before but it really got to me. All i could think about was that they had lost their loved one and i felt their pain and could relate. At least we got to spend time with you at home dad and be there for you, care for you and try to keep you comfortable. It wouldn't have been the same if you were in hospital, glad we got you home. Friday was really dad for me and i was hoping for a better week but just had a call from their family to thank me for all the support. Breaks my heart that they had to say goodbye to their dad and beings it all back again. Really do miss you dad, wish you were still here with us. Love you dad xxxx

February now dad, January seems to have been and gone in a flash. Think I’m ready for a break, work has been relentless and just feel tired. We will just keep powering on like we do. Miss you dad, love you, wish you were still with us, stay around dad, we all need you in our own way ❤️❤️❤️😔😔😔 xxxx

I think i talk more to you now dad than i did before, its funny. I do miss not having you around dad, not having you there to speak with or to message. I think about about the past and how i wish things had been different and i would have just stayed with you rather than being at home. You probably wouldnt have wanted a teenager tagging along with you. I wish we had spoken more and stayed in touch with each other. I missed so many things that i should have been there for. We at least have my wedding, you really did make our day. We miss and love you loads. Ally speaks to your photo all the time, we both do to be honest.

Christmas week dad, auntie Julie told me a funny story about you when you were younger. “Let me tell you a story when we young we all got up early on Christmas morning as you do to find all our pressies had been opened. Guess who ? Yes correct your Dad he couldn't wait for us to get up. We had no clue who bought what for us. Not happy then but now its so funny” It really made my day reading it and made me laugh, love you dad xxx

Hey dad, so today i had something done in remembrance of you. I had a tattoo of a rose and the year you were born 1958. Its somthing that i can add too and put more things that remind me of you. Its tasteful dad and means so much to me. Would much rather have you here but i guess the tattoo will be a reminder of you. Love and miss you dad, forever in our hearts.

Morning dad, another week (11). Was asked yesterday how I am coping with Christmas, told them that it is cancelled for us this year. This year 2020 will be remembered for so much but for me it will always be the year we lost you. At least before I knew you were only a phone call, text message or visit away. I would give anything to have you back dad, miss you so much xxx love always dad 💎❤️😢

Held you too dad, didn’t want to put you down, was walking around the living room with you (strange I know) miss you dad everyday, wish you were still with us. Love you dad ❤️😢💎 xxx

Wow everytime I think of you. You let me know. This morning Dan found pics of you on your grandsons camera and posted them on f/b. Then scrolling down my friend Janice who's b/day is the same day as yours and the same age posted crackling rose video wow Steve I miss you. 💔💎😪XXX

Been a busy week dad, but will get to see Helen tomorrow. Going through to pick your car up, will get to see you too dad. I’m still counting the weeks, just trying not to say it as much, but it’s only there. Miss you so much dad xxxx love you xxxx

Helen really does miss you and is heart broken not having you here with us. Please look after her dad, i will look after Helen too. Love you always dad, miss you xxxx

Was a hard day today dad, had to tell a service user that he can’t go home. I am so grateful that we were able to have you back home, for you to have Helen by your side.

Please stay close dad, we still need you around us, you, grandma and our Claire to watch over us all. Love you dad, miss you so much xxx❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So no Neil Diamond to listen to today on the radio, instead we have Christmas songs. It’s coming to that time of year, it’s heartbreaking to think that you won’t be with your family, with Helen and the grandkids. We all miss you so much dad. xxxx

Well dad its yet another week without you. At least Helen has you with her at home. But you are dearly missed dad by all that knew you, by your family and friends.

Are you with me dad or it is just coincidence that Hello Again is on the radio again today. I really want to think that it is a sign and that you are watching over me xxx

Another week without you being with us dad. Being back at work has helped a little but your still there in my head. Music on the radio or a case at work that triggers memories. We are in another lockdown as well now so can’t even go see you and Helen. Miss you dad xxx

Glad I came to see you dad, it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Its all starting to become so real now. It’s scaring the hell out of me. Miss you so much dad, love you xxx

God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be So he put His arms around you And whispered "Come to me" With tearful eyes we watched you As you slowly slipped away And though we loved you dearly We couldn't make you stay. Your golden heart stopped beating Your tired hands put to rest God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best 💕💎😘😢

Coming to see you today dad, not really sure how to feel about it. Having very mixed emotions. Just miss you so much, can’t it just be a very bad dream/nightmare and you will still be here with us ❤️

Today was a tough one dad. Had a team meeting at the town hall where i got married. All the memories from that amazing day came back to me, one in particular you singing. I was sat where table would have been, it was heart breaking but joyful at the same time. Miss you so much dad, wish you were here with us. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Stephen. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

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.
