Dad 4 years and years ago yesterday the phone call I'd never imagined happened. Whilst out shopping mum rang me to say you had a massive heart attack that took you from us, 4 very long years. The golden hearted man who always put others first before himself, the laughter I miss the jokes you always used to come up with good know where from, I'm proud to call you Dad and I'll never ever stop missing you or forget about you Dad Love always and forever Amina ❤ 💙 ♥

Memories Of You Dad
Its been the hardest thing to lose you
You meant so much to me
But you are in my heart Dad
And that's where you'll always be
I know that heaven called you
But I wish you could have stayed
At the least the memories I have of you
They will never fade away
I did not want to lose you
But you did not go alone
Because a part of me went with you
When heaven called you home
So just remember one thing
We are not apart
You're are with me in my memories
And in my broken heart

A year has passed
A year has passed without you
I miss you more each day
I cry each day that passes
And I will cry again today
A year has passed without you
I miss your voice each day
I speak to you in silence
I will speak to you today
A year has passed without you
I miss your face each day
I see you face in my dreams
And I will see your face today
A year has passed without you
I miss your love each day
I love you more each day that passes
And I will love you more today
