Dear Dad, It’s taken me a long time to write this. In fact it’s taken me seven months. It’s just over seven months since you died, and it still hurts, a lot. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that night. Sometimes it feels like the events just play on repeat, all that sadness, hurt, and … More Dear Dad
When I first saw you it was on the floor of a friend’s bedroom. You had modelled for university photo -film they had produced. I thought you were absolutely gorgeous. A few alcoholic drinks and some stalking of your (very sparse) Facebook profile later I sent you a friend request. To my surprise you actually … More It’s a Love Story

It may seem a bit odd to be writing about something that actually happened months ago now, but at the time when I was originally going to write this I got a little bit side-tracked.
