I’m sat at the top of the stairs at quarter to 1 in the morning because I can’t sleep and I can’t help but think you would be downstairs watching some true crime documentary right now. Homicide Hunter with Joe Kendra was your favourite, even though the actor playing him looking nothing like the real life him, which you would point out every time without fail haha. Some days are easier than others, but right now the house is so quiet and it feels strange without you. I miss you dad x

Happy birthday to my wonderful dad. Paul Merritt said he’s going to raise a glass to you tonight, I told him even at 67 I don’t think you would’ve retired, you loved winding people up in here too much lol, and with me working here now as well as mum, even more reason to stay haha! Don’t party too hard without us, you really are missed everyday Lots of love to you 💙

Happy 67th birthday 🎂 dad, I miss you so much the best dad in the world. Lots of love from Mandy xxxxxx

Wishing you a happy heavenly birthday my darling. Love you so very much, we have such amazing memories xxxxx

Can’t sleep, miss you and love you. Life is so different now, how I’d love to rewind. ❤️💙

When will the ache feel better, I hope you’re in a place free of pain, I hope you’re laughing but more than anything I hope you’re waiting for me 💙❤️

Happy Valentines my lovely hubby, wish I could find my watch. We had 27, so lovely each one, you were a devoted husband, love you always 💙❤️

18 months since we said goodbye, how can it be that long. Miss you, love you always and forever ❤️💙

Happy Christmas 🎄dad, I love you xxx

28 years since our first date and what a journey it was, the best ever. We laughed and loved so much and we had the best times, you loved to have a good time and you had such a great sense of humour, I walk past the legion that’s closed down now and remember so many nights us laughing in there with the regulars, I go to cosham and pass all our old haunts where we used to go on a Saturday night, catch the bus home or walk, have cheese on toast or Welsh rarebit as you used to call it, you’d make me a cup of tea and say, ‘bet you fall asleep and don’t drink it’, there it would be stone cold in the morning. I miss our Sunday walks, stopping at the shoreline for a rest and you telling me stories about the naval base, you were a very special man and I was so proud you were my husband and my best friend. Love you always and forever, your wifey xxxxx
