Dear Dad, I would apologise for this being almost a week late, but honestly I’m kind of done with being sorry for things that I can’t really do anything about, and unless I can switch my brain for a slightly more functional one then I’m not going to apologise. Life is kind of kicking my … More Dear Dad (Happy Belated Father’s Day)
Okay, so I know it’s technically not your birthday until tomorrow and I’m a day early but it’s close enough. At least I’m not late, and I didn’t forget. It’s often hard to forget these days, especially since the date is on the key-ring I keep attached to one of my sets of keys. This … More Dear Dad (Happy Birthday, Again)
Dear Dad, It’s actually been 2 years and a day if you want to get really specific, though for a while I was having a moment where I couldn’t actually remember which date exactly it was. I knew it was early November, between Halloween and Bonfire Night, but I couldn’t remember the exact day. All … More Dear Dad (It’s Been 2 Years)
Dear Dad, Someone told me earlier this year that change is just a fact of life, that everything changes eventually, so we just have to accept it and roll with the punches. Sometimes however, these changes are easier to accept than others. Some change is easy, for the better. Others are harder, more painful to … More Dear Dad (There Are Changes Afoot)
Dear Dad, Happy Father’s Day. I hope you don’t mind that I haven’t got you a present or a card. If I figure out how to send things to the afterlife, I’ll get right on it. Is there an afterlife? I write these as if you can see them, as if you can read them. … More Dear Dad (Happy Father’s Day)
Dear Dad, So, I’ve done something, something that’s either very bold or very stupid, I haven’t quite decided yet. You have to promise me that you won’t laugh when I tell you, though I’m sure you will anyway. If I wasn’t the one actually doing it, I’d be laughing at myself as well. I’ve signed … More Dear Dad (Please Don’t Laugh)
Dear Dad, Today is an important day. Today is the day that Fabian turns 18. You’re not here to well and truly embarrass him, which I know you would have taken great pleasure in, so I guess I’ll have to do it. Not that it’s much of a hardship, I’m sure there’s something in the … More Dear Dad (Your Little Boy Is All Grown Up)
So, today would have been your 48th birthday. I’ve always been rubbish at remembering birthdays and ages, though yours was always slightly easier. Possibly from all those times I used to recite it for you when I was making your appointments, but now that your no longer here it’s like your birthday and age have … More Dear Dad (Happy Birthday)
Dear Dad, It’s getting more and more frequent that I write to you, or at least it feels that way. Time is passing in a weird kind of way at the moment, and it feels like it’s just flying by. I reckon that’s because I’ve just been so busy and working so much. It feels … More Dear Dad (Merry Christmas)
Dear Dad, I know I wrote one of these letters to you recently, so I hope you don’t mind me writing one again so soon. This one is slightly different to the ones I’ve written to you before though. It’s the first one I’ve written out in my notebook before typing it up. It’s the … More Dear Dad (I Did It)
