I am his daughter
My father was electrocuted
I never knew my father. I only found out about him when I was 18, 9 years after his passing. It sounds strange, but I love my Dad, although I didn't know him.
I have no idea whether he had/has any family remaining, apart from myself. All I have are the few sketchy memories that my mum and sister have of him.
I have been to the Gilroes Cemetary in Leicester, where his ashes were scattered, I have a copy of his death certificate, but I have nothing else. Apart from his looks, according to my mum.
I'm disappointed that I never got to meet him, but my mum thought that she was doing what was best for me.
Love you Dad, Sarah Leanne xxxxx
18 years....
Year 18 is here... Never forgotten daddy. Thank you for bringing me Nic to share her memories of you so that I can learn about the father I never knew. Love you always and forever, your daughter, Sarah Xxxx
Happy Birthday Daddy. I wish I'd known you and you'd had the chance to watch your Grandson grow up. My life may not be panning out as I'd planned, but I know you're guiding me through. I will love you always. Your daughter, Sarah xxx
16 Years Gone :-(
16 Years to the day since you left this world now Dad, I still hate the fact I didn't get the chance to know you. I hope you are watching over me and are proud of what I'm doing with my life. Your grandson should have had the chance to meet you! Sounds strange, but since the day I found out about you, I've felt a really strong love for you. I really hope I'm making you proud. Your daughter, Sarah xxxxxxxx
