The hospice at home team were amazing at supporting my father in law in his last weeks, and allowed the family to spend that time together at his home. His grandchildren would like his light to shine on the tree of life this Christmas, as he was such a big part of all family festivities and was the ‘real’ Santa to all who knew him.

My father who art in heaven..
A prayer couldnt save you from what came,
Although now I whisper your name,
Every day and every night
It's a hug I need, and to hold you tight.
On Christmas day, I will set your place, and pour your drink, play your games, then shut my eyes to see your face.
Merry Xmas dad, your presence will always be felt. X

Thinking of you all, not only at Christmas but always. Xx

To Simo, Remembering all the special times we had together as a family at Christmas. The first will always be hard but we know you’ll be shining down on us. We’ll raise a pint to you on Christmas Day. We all miss you so much. Shine bright my Simo. Lots of endless love from your Kezza, Tom, Jack and all your loving loving family. ❤️ xxxxxx
