You were crazy young when I was born. Not really, I mean you were older than we were when Izzy came along, but you kind of looked like a school boy. All wide-eyed and innocent.
Not enough men have beards these days. Proper full manly beards, that prickle when they hug you.
I loved taking a bath with you. You always worked so much when we were little that those 10 minutes in the tub with you each morning were so precious. I had you all to myself. I wish I could remember what we talked about.
You look really handsome when you smile. Even if you scrunch your eyes up and pull a silly face.
When I picture you in my head I always see you with your black and yellow Nikon camera strap draped around your neck.
I can remember what it felt like to ride on your shoulders.
My children would adore you.
What’s with the cropped walking trousers and red socks Dad? Seriously? When was that ever a good look?
I miss you. Happy Father’s Day.

Hugs to you lovely. You have such precious memories and stories of him.
Is it just me or does that last picture look so much like Jesse?!

@Lollipop Hehe! Yes, it’s really odd, but both my children REALLY look like my sister did as a baby. I swear they’re mine though! I have some pics of Izzy where it’s uncanny.
Thank you for the hugs 🙂

The man I love has a beard. It’s one of my favourite things about him.
This bought tears to my eyes Franky, as ever your way with words is so poignant, I really feel as though I know you’re Dad. He sounds like such a brilliant man, and I know he would be so, so proud of you. You’re a credit to him, you really are. Love you xxx
This is lovely xx
Thank you ladies, your lovely comments mean so, so much.
@Sam he sounds like a keeper 😉
