## We're home ## Hi Dad, hope you're ok. We are back ... if a little later than expected. It' was hard on the journey back as I remember thinking to myself I haven't felt that tired in a long time. In fact the last time was when we spent every waking moment with you before you left. We sat with you all night long, holding your hand and telling you how much we loved you. Willing you to wake up. But I know now that you were just too tired. We were just saying our goodbyes and at the time I don't think that fully registered with me. I didn't want my Dad to go. It's so hard Dad. I don't feel like it's getting any easier but I think I must be more accepting of the fact that you aren't here in the physical sense anymore. We had a lovely holiday and you were with us everyday. When we went sight seeing. We would find ourselves saying "I know someone who would have loved this". Colin's taken lots of pictures. We went into a beautiful church with some hand painted Stations of the Cross. It's been a break just getting away from my desk and spending some time with Colin and Zach. My fingers have quickly remembered how to use the keyboard though!! Whilst I know Mum perhaps thinks we didn't think about here when we were away, she is definitely wrong. Zach would say every day "I'll have to tell Grandma about this" .... and we would say "Mum would have liked this" or "do you think Mum would have found it too hot"?? We were glad to be back home again anyway xxx Will catch up with you again tomorrow Dad. Our sleep patterns are all messed up tonight. Love you lots Clare xxxxx p.s. Happy Easter ;-)
