It’s the 9th anniversary of losing my dad tomorrow. I’ll mark the day my way, as always. I’ll take some time to remember the very funny and very kind man he was. Take some quiet time for me to remember.
This week I was reminded of the place I was in this time last year, I was feeling lost, a little lonely, vulnerable, sorry for myself, missing a male role model in my life (in spite of my fierce independence) but was still missing that.
Last year was one of the only times I’ve been single in my long adult life, and boy did I feel out of sorts. I always miss my Dad on his anniversary or Birthday anyway, but I’d had my life turned upside down, lost my social media including all my pictures of my Dad and my kids. Last year at this point, it just felt a bit rubbish!
Fast forward a year, my life is entirely different, I’m entirely different. However I absolutely know that my Dad, who is looking over me. I know this. He’ll be incredibly proud of his little girl, how far she has come and how happy, content, successful, and making a difference she is….
Thanks for looking over me 😘

Love and miss you Dad….your little girl
❤️
