Good morning, my Maverick,

It’s been a year now,
Since the world lost your boots on the ground—
But not your spirit.
That rides beside me still,
like dust trails in the golden morning sun.

Somehow, through the quiet,
you speak louder than ever.
In the little things—
the choices I make,
the strength I find
when I thought I had none.
You’re still the compass in my wild west.

I miss your laugh,
that stubborn grin that said,
“You’ll be alright, kid.”
And somehow, I am—
because you taught me how to hold steady
when the wind kicks up.

You might be gone in body, Pops,
but you’re carved into the grain of who I am.
And in this year without you,
I’ve never felt you closer.

Ride easy up there.
I’m doing okay down here.

With love always,
Your kid 🤍

We miss you, I miss everything about you Daddy. Life is not the same, how can it be. For losing you consumes every part of me, but I will forever be Your Daughter.

I loved singing this song to you remember..

Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
On this May morn, as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
I love so much that all I could see his blood upon the Rose.

Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye

I miss you & I love you darling. Come back to when you do, I’ll be waiting xxxxxx

I'm sorry that i had to leave you, I hate watching you miss me and cry,
But please don't spend too much time being sad, And don't spend too much time questioning why.
My death showed you that tomorrow isn't promised,
So live and enjoy life whilst you can,
And when you feel sad thinking I'm not with you, Please don't ever doubt that I am.
I'm with you in all your big moments, I've seen everything that you have done, I'm so proud of everything you have achieved, And so proud of who you've become.
Don't worry about all the things you didn't say, Don't feel guilty whenever you feel happy,
' promise you I'm okay now,
so don't feel guilty for living life without me.
I'd hate to think my death destroyed you, I want you to be brave and carry on, Although I'm not physically with you, The love we shared could never be gone.
So don't worry about what we didn't get to do, Because you can do so much with your time, And always remember when you think of me,
That love can never ever die.
