Paul was my loyal my confidant friend my mentor for quite long time he was more like younger brother We had many experince during that time and laughed we frought and laughed again iI can go on for hours
Talking about the kind of person he was but I think many of you already know
Paul was the friendliest sweet at times and very fustrating man at times most comprehensive and attimes humble person I have ever met in my life always worrying about the welfare of family and over others
I know he was closer to me ,that there no distance of time difference that separates us now Trust that horrid sensation with missing someome will gually diminish over time but understand that loss of any kind is not step by step process it is more like waves formed when something is dropped into a pondThe waves of pain retrn but as loss becomes more integatedninto your being their strength lowers
I thank you Paul for those yeaes of frendship that you gave me thank you every thing that you did for me and what i’ve for you life is two way street
I want you my freiand that I love you with my heart ant that I alway rem ber you
You will and were basted and my friendly friend by mate sadly gone but not for gotten

I was Paul’s carer for a number of years, during this time we formed a really good friendship. I know as his carer we weren’t meant to become friends, but with Paul you couldn’t help it. He was such a character, you would never know what pranks he was going to play on me or what was going to come out of his mouth.
I am going to miss you Paul, RIP my friend.

Dad, it’s been a tough few years. We didn’t see eye to eye on a lot of things. My opinion on you has been vastly different to what everyone else is saying about you.
I know that you had issues, you weren’t the best parent and i was treated, as well as others around you were treated like pure garbage by you.
However, I understand now, that you had a very tough up bringing, going through what you did as a kid and as An adult without the support your needed growing up would have been completely hard. I know that you did your best that you could do with what you had available to you.
It makes me incredibly proud to say you were my father, hearing what people say about you, it truly is what I am like, I had no idea we were more similar than I thought.
I have a hole in my heart that will never be filled, the years of wasted time and years I spent angry at you for what you did and didn’t do. I was wrong, I made a mistake by letting it anger me and fill me with such angry emotions that I let it get in the way of what we would have had.
I’m sorry you went through what you did, and I’m sorry that I couldn’t be there for you when you needed me.
I just wish I got to see the side of you everyone else knew, I’ve heard that people can bring out the best in each other and I’ve heard that people can also bring out the worst in each other, I guess you and mum where not a good fit in the end and you both developed resentment towards each other.
This is not yours or mums fault, you both did the best you could with what you had and what you knew.
You have taught me a lot, and you have taught me a lot by not teaching me too. I can see it now.
I forgave you years before you passed but I was so angry I didn’t want to tell you.
I know you will never read this as you are gone but, just know that I do love you and may you rest in peace.
