One year

A year ago I was woken up by a phone call...the most horrific phone call with news that I wouldn't wish anyone to ever have to receive. Losing my dad so suddenly and tragically is something that still hasn't sunk in. Our world turned upside down and even though we're muddling through, he's always on my mind - when I wake up, when I sleep, when I'm at work or when I'm with friends...it doesn't matter. There's a finality to a year...I can no longer say "oh this time last year he was doing this or doing that". A lot has happened this year and amidst all the tumult, there have been some wonderful friends and family who have just kept us sane with their incredible kindness, support and loyalty to us. I don't know what we would do without them. My dad was fiercely protective of us and it's strange not to have that security around us anymore, but we're definitely stronger in this last year. To my incredible dad...You're loved and missed more than you can imagine.
