Thank You, God

One day, it will be ten years since you have passed. It'll be ten years and I'll be twenty-five. Not a clue as to where I'll be. Maybe married. Maybe with kids. Maybe focused entirely on my career. I'll be twenty-five and Antony will be forty, off on his own with his beautiful family waiting for the next family occasion to see everyone again. We'll be happy, just as we are now. Christmas dinners will be had and Easter services will be attended. Birthdays will be celebrated as will weddings and christenings. But at every point in our life, we will always be thinking of the one person who won't be able to share it with us for eternity. You.

Here's to you. Bet you'd never thought I'd write this to you, huh?

Never ever EVER do I post stuff like this - or even talk or think like this! - but tomorrow is the third year anniversary of my dad's death and I'm sentimental at heart.
