Dad, I have been thinking about you constantly this month, I think January is such a tough month after Christmas and the weather has been dreadful which doesnt help moods! We were shocked to hear that Val Hill had passed away suddenly on the 4th and I took Mum to her funeral this week. All I can think about is you and Val playing the fool and having a bloody good laugh at parties. Mum is doing so well and is so strong but I know deep down struggles without you and often puts a brace face on. Grandad is hanging on in there but is deteriating all the time, he has had enough and life is such a struggle for him now, it is such a shame. Pennys husband Dave died yesterday of a brain tumour and he was only 60, life is so unfair and I know exactly what his three children are going through and it brings all the pain back that we and you went through two years ago! Forever in our thoughts and hearts, Graham xx
