I Miss My Dad

Dear Dad,

After speaking to Bill O’leary about your funeral, he reminded us all that you have had very different effects on all of our lives, you were a husband to mum and a father to me and David. You were a grandson, son, brother, uncle, friend and face that many may have recognized on the street to say hello to; we all knew you in different ways.

You were taken suddenly from us and there were many things I would of loved to have said to you but sadly remained unsaid, I would like to tell you now what my dad taught me.........his love for my mum is boundless, I would look at my parents while growing up and just knew that they would be together for ever, there was a bond that went beyond words, simply they were made for each other.........you taught me love should be sought out and cherished and never let go of. I remember you went though many periods of unemployment when i was growing up, sometimes for months and rarely you fault, when you would get very low. You were our provider and I knew you felt it was your duty to look after us all and I thank you very much for that. It broke your heart to be at home so worked many jobs that he may have not liked but kept us all fed, clothed and happy.........you taught me pride, dignity and self sacrifice. But the most important thing you taught me was looking after your own. I never wanted for anything dad even though I may have moaned about stuff I always knew you and mum would look after me and be there, even when the police were with me (laugh now)

I never told my dad how much I loved him, I just hope you knew and I would like to tell you now how proud I am to be the son of Peter James Meade. I will miss you more than I can ever say and will love you for ever. I promised to look after mum and I will always do my best for her dad.

I have enclosed a necklace that I used to wear and has hung on my rear-view mirror for a some years. You may think it’s silly but I have always thought it would protect me and give me a safe journey, well I haven’t had a crash yet! (touch wood) It’s to see you safely on your way now, I don’t need it any more because I know you will be looking over us all.

I will write from time to time and let you know how we are all getting on, I am not sure how I am going to deliver them but maybe shooting them into the night sky on a rocket will be good because Ben and my friends love to let off fireworks, so it will be a pleasure. But probably I will sit by your grave and read to you for a while, just hope you don’t get too bored!

I love you dad, now and forever, your son.........
