Submission 34

Dear Dad,

I've often tried to find the words I'd say to you if I had the opportunity to do so, Dad. If I could spend just one more minute with you. The reality is, I probably wouldn't say anything. Instead, I'd smile, hug you tight and thank you for being my Dad.

It took me years of searching for why to realise, I'll never actually know why you took your own life. Some days I accept that easier than others. Some days are harder than others, but I just wish you knew how loved you were. I just wish you knew, you weren't alone.

As a Dad of 3 boys myself now, if I can be just half the Dad you were to me I'll be happy.

I love you Dad. I miss you Dad x
