No words I write can ever say How much I miss you every day. As time goes by, the loneliness grows; How I miss you, nobody knows! I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, But all I have are memories And photos in a frame. No one knows my sorrow, No one sees me weep, But the love I have...

Yay! The rain held off and the big move went smoothly. Those Hammond Transport guys are awesome - got on with the job and did it fast. Now it's just a matter of figuring out where I want things and trying to find where on earth I put things! It's always a pain for a few weeks after you move house...

Well Dad, only one more day until I move house. Wish you were here to see it, you would like it. Whenever I moved, Mum and Dad would always be there to lend a hand and I appreciated it so much. In my current place, Dad was concerned about security, so he put a chain on the door into the garage - it...

My father was a good man. He was always there when you needed him, whether it was to offer advice or practical help. He knew lots of things. He was a good family man. He loved his children and adored my mother. Every day he would get up and bring her a cup of tea in bed. He knew about cars. He...

Well winter is definitely here! A sudden artic blast has brought snow down to 300m, closing the Rimutaka Hill Road. Much worse in the South Island though - Dunedin was at a standstill today, too dangerous to drive there, schools closed. Brrr! Very cold outside. I see on the weather news that there...

Well Dad, you're now world-famous in Upper Hutt! I mentioned your website on Twitter and the Upper Hutt City Library saw it and you are now linked from their Community Database at www.upperhuttcity.com/page/767/RelatedWebsites.boss. It is nice to think that as you grew up in and around Upper Hutt...

It's getting much colder now, the winter months are upon us. We all miss you so much Dad. In 3 months time it will have been a year since you left us - I still can't get over the fact that you are gone. All your planes are still at Hood Aerodrome - we are waiting for them to let us know when they...

Well Dad, it's been eight long months since you passed away and we all still miss you so much. I still find it very hard to believe that you are gone. I miss your cheeky grin and the funny little things you used to say. Wish things had been different and you were still here with us.

Mum and I went into the Food Show in Wellington at Westpac Stadium today - absolute madness! There were so many people there you could barely squeeze through at times. Lots and lots of wine stands - you could have had a cheap booze up there had you been so inclined. It took us 4 hours to go right...

4 May 1957 - to 4 May 2009. It would have been 52 years today for you and Mum. It's not going to be such a happy day for her today - the first wedding anniversary without you. We all miss you so much and wish you were here to celebrate it with her. By the way Mum, you were absolutely gorgeous (and...
