dear pa;
the first thing i thought about when i woke up was you pops, 2 years has gone so quick, you got no idea. i wish you were still here, and so does everyone. I really wish i could just pick up the phone and call you, but it's not that simple anymore.. We went out to visit you and nan this afternoon.. the entire time i was looking up, looking for you in the sky. I can't believe its been 2 years since we were all in that room at the hospital, that image has stuck in my mind. the time was exactly 6:21pm. that was the longest night of my life. I'm sitting here right now listening to music, thinking of you, and wondering would life be any different if you were still here or not. Everyone misses you and nan both so much. I did a speech as a candidate as Mackillop house captain, i did my best, we find out tomorrow who gets it. I know you'd be so proud if i got it. Cricket starts soon, I'll never forget that day out at Thurgoona when you and nan came to watch me play, i hit a 4 right where you were sitting, you both being there gave me extra motivation to try and do good. This year in my cricket i want to better my performance from last year, i want to achieve the best that i possibly can, it'll all be for you, every wicket i take, every run i make it will be for you. I start year 12 soon, that should be interesting, and then I'm free to take on the world.
if only i could tell you all of this in person.
I love you pa !
