For Dad

Woke up this morning still feeling ache-y and flu-ey and with a headache and no energy. Not good with the prospect of a full day ahead. However, it's done and dusted now and I got through it.

Our dad passed away eight years ago today. Busboy and I still miss him terribly and he's never far from our thoughts. He worked 'on the buses' all his life, working his way up from parcel boy when he was a young lad to a more senior position. He loved logistics and systems of all kinds and would study the public transport system wherever he went. This afternoon I stepped out onto the balcony on the 3rd floor of school, was about to click the shutter when a bus came into the picture. This is for you dad. You continue to be a big influence in our lives. We love you and miss you more than you know.

Here's a pic of us that I put on on the 2 year anniversary. His shirt looks stained, but it's just the light! I'm still a daddy's girl:
