Never times that go by that i don't think of him, he was a fabulous Dad, everything a child could want as a parent, not just saying that it's the truth.
He was happy, intelligent & popular, he had succeded in life, he had 3 wondeful kids & my mum of course
I miss him so much, he made the 12 years of my life total happiness, he was my friend as well as my father.
He liked a drink, loved football & golf & enjoyed his holidays abroad.
He lived the high life, owned boats, snazzy cars & big houses & he also lived the less life, nothing ever changed the person he was though, everyone just loved him, he was like a big cuddly teddy bear so warm.
He brought a pub (one of his many dreams) he had worked towards this through life it was a B&B is well, massive place in Rye east sussex, brought in the november 1994 & sadly died from a tragic accident 19/01/1995.
I will never ever forget the awful night, everyone was there my older sister had come to stay with us & couson's they were all drinking & playing card games in the pub, Dad was having his usual G&T with a slice of lemon, i saw him knock his drink back & walk off towards the other end of the bar, 40 mins later my sisters had a bad feeling.
"where's Dad she said"
"not sure Mum answered"
So off they went to check all the beds, when he's had a drink you would find him snaring in a bed somewhere, unfortunatly he was not in a bed he had fallen down the cellar stairs
The stairs were steep & concrete, it's a mystery to this day why he went there only explanation is there was a toilet next door & maybe he was ment to go to that? walked in thinking it was the loo but it was steep, steep steps
He died instantly from head injuries, he was 47 years old.
I will never ever forget that night for the rest of my life, my world turned upside down, he was my world.
I miss him so much it hurts.
R.I.P Dad xx
