As I stood here in the rain, I could hear your voice saying ‘ get yourself indoors babe,you’ll freeze, I mean you’re not exactly dressed for this weather are you?!’
What I wouldn’t give to hear your voice or see your face today and everyday.


Thank you for leaving us with the most amazing memories we could ever wish for.
If I’m half the parent to my two as you were to us~I’ll be very proud.
Happy Heavenly Fathers Day to the very best. I miss you and love you more than I can put it into words.
‘Cheers Dad’.
All my love,all my life.🩵x

You want to look smart don’t you?!

Adam asked me if I would iron his new jeans this morning.
No problem at all apart from the fact I couldn’t find the iron because ironing is something I avoid unless it’s absolutely essential, and running my hair straightners over the item of clothing won’t be sufficient!


Anyhow, as I began ironing, I had a flashback to my Dad ironing a pair of jeans for me when I was about 17yrs old.
I remember standing in the kitchen with a look of absolute horror on my face as he held them up beautifully ironed with a perfect crease down them!!


‘What have you done to my jeans?’
‘What do you mean?’
‘Jeans don’t have a crease down them!!’
‘Well you want to look smart don’t you?!’
I can hear this conversation right now as clear as day. I’m laughing about it now and its made me smile.


A memory so small that means so much, thanks Dad~I needed that today, further proof that those who we lose never go away they always here in one way or another.
Happy Sunday~may you’re ironing pile be small and you’re coffee strong.❤️x

Today.

Whatever you do today,tomorrow and every day after that~just make sure you hold your loved ones tight and tell them that you love them.
Don’t leave questions unanswered for another day.
Live for the moment, be open, be honest, don’t wait for tomorrow.❤x
Happy Birthday to you xx

I wish I was writing you a card instead of writing this post.

I wish you could be with us when we raise a toast.

But they don’t have mail where you are, we can’t reach you by plane or car.

We look up at the stars above and watch the waves come crashing in, as the boats go sailing by we will remember your smile always as wide as a mile.

Although you are so far away, we are thinking of you every day.

So cheers to you and may I say Dad we wish you a very happy heavenly birthday.❤x

Tonight I cried, I wanted a bunch of sunflowers but the shop had sold out of them.


I saw them yesterday and assumed I would have time to get some today.


The tears weren’t just because of sunflowers~they were because of lots of things but the fact remains that we always think we have tomorrow, there’s always another day,we put off doing and saying things that matter.


Don’t take time for granted, live for the moment.❤x

No regrets?

I feel like every time I start to write something, everything has a common theme to it, I feel I’m having lots of ‘I wasn’t going to do that but I’m glad I’m did moments’.

This evening for example I wasn’t going to go out to the beach even though I knew it would be good to clear my head.

So I found myself having a last minute dash to get to the seafront before the sun set and I am honestly so glad that I did. The sky was amazing, the colours were beautiful, it was as peaceful and calm as ever.

When I looked back through my photographs, I noticed that the clouds look like love hearts in the sky, which I like to think is a gentle reminder that our loved ones are never far away.

Coming back to those moments of being glad I did thing’s, just really powers home the saying of ‘in life we only regret the chances we didn’t take’.

Grab life with both hands we only get one shot at it.❤x
