Daddy, I never got a chance to say this often but I love you so much. I know that you will be watching us from above. I did not just lose a father, I lost my smile, my happiness and most importantly, I lost that shelter that used to keep me safe. Being your daughter is the greatest honour of my life, thank you for loving me with all my flaws and for loving my boys, blessing them with a great grandfather that they will cherish forever. I promise to be strong no matter how many days pass. We love you, our life will not be the same. RIP No more pain. You can finally see your sweetheart.

Love from “your girl” Morehu, and Jason and the boys: Hayden, Campbell, Leeroy, Chase, and Axel the dog.
