2 years and not a day goes by where you are not forefront in my mind. I miss you so much. So many times I want to call you…tell you how my studies are going….chat about the weather, politics, how my work is going. I know you’d be both interested and disgusted with the latter. I’m grateful for the many things you taught me…integrity, justice, ethical morality being some of them. In that place self interest and being popular come before any of those things. I know you’d have the wisdom I seek. I hope you’d be proud of where I am now pivoting my life.
You were a man of real Godly character. Strong and Courageous in the face of the disease that ultimately took your life. Your faith never wavered. The only scars in Heaven are on the hands that hold you now.
I miss you, I love you, am grateful God gave you as my father.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A year ago you left us and headed home. We think of your every day; and while the pain is still there, our warm memories displace it more and more as time goes by. You are sorely missed and deeply mourned. But we smile when we think of you, home and running free. Can’t wait to see you again, Dad. Much love, your sons Rod and Nigel
I miss you so much Dad.
Sharing your sadness as you remember Brian today. Love from Perth cousin Kevin and Yvonne, Michael and Rosaanna, Adam and Isla.
