Dad if only you could have stayed forever. We miss you more than you will ever know. You were my safe place, advice giver, helper, and above all the best dad a girl could have. You have been a role model to us all and I know you are Peter’s hero. When you left you took a big piece of my heart with you and you’ll be remembered every day. It’s not goodbye it’s night, night, I’ll see you later xx
