When we met, @jay_lee0504 & I both said we’d always wanted to visit Norway 🇳🇴 So the day after our first anniversary - and to celebrate his 21st birthday - we did just that ✈️ 🏔️
Bergen is apparently the rainiest city in Europe, but we somehow managed to catch four days of straight sunshine (very lucky as the locals kept reminding us ☀️)
Goodbye for now, dad. I’ll always imagine you running over distant hilltops, past winding rivers, or through sun-dappled woodland. Perhaps now you’re soaring high above them all.
Words aren’t enough to express a loss like this - of the time you deserved to spend with loved ones, and the time we always thought we would have with you.
Words are even less equipped to explain how lucky we have been to have you as our father. No daughter could ever have asked for more. Whether with wise words or a quiet nod and a smile, you supported me and Amy through every choice, risk, mistake and triumph without missing a beat.
So many of the things I love about life and about myself, I learnt from you. You have always been my peace, comfort and strength, and always will be. That’s a gift I get to carry with me forever, till it’s time for me to meet you again.
I took the final photo on my lunch break today, of newly sprung flowers peeking at the midday sun. A photo I would no doubt have sent to you, as though to say:
“Look! Spring is on the way. Bright times are ahead… isn’t that lovely?”
