    My that's us into February already and it's really cold today but we still haven't had a lot of snow boo you know how much I love it as you did.Think about you all the time Dad and still miss you so much.Rebecca has been playing Don't Laugh at Me on the piano and of course she is brilliant and I said to Mum what kind of state would Dad be in if he was here.I can just see you bursting with pride and your wee shoulders shaking as you try to pretend your not crying.what wonderful thoughts they are for a wonderful man.Having a wee jammie night tonight with Mum,Rebecca and Janette.You'll be glad you're missing it we're watching Cliff all night.Love and miss you with every breath I take.Yours Elaine xxx

    Well,Dad,that's us starting another year without you,another year of missing you dreadfully.Iam just waiting on Mum to pick me up we're going to the Thistle,Janette too if we don't get blown away.Graham's flight was cancelled so he's going to london tomorrow but there was no way the Girls weren't going out.We went to the Torrance at Hogmanay and it was rubbish and poor Mum was so upset at the bells it's just weird you not being here.I love and miss you so so much forever and always Elaine xxx

    Well Dad that's Christmas fast approaching and as always I'm well organized got all my presents in just need to wrap them.Mum Janette and me have been to see Engelbert Humperdink and then we saw Glen Campbell last week,it's just not the same coming out and you taking us home and listening to us yapping and giggling away about our night.Graham does it now but as much as I love him it was like a wee tradition that you did it.Have got you a few wee pressies and oh how I wish you were here to get them.Everybody's coming here on Christmas day as usual and it goes without saying that you will be so dreadfully missed.I love and miss you with all my heart Daddy,your wee girl Elaine xxx
