Thoughts
Dad, I miss you. I’m sad I was not able to be with you when you passed but I am happy that I was able to spend most of the last year in the UK and was able to spend time with you.
You told others how proud I made you. I will do my best to do things that would continue to make you proud.
Love, Graeme
Graeme Thurtle

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
