Daddy and I miss you daily - that really goes without saying. I bet you don't realise though, how big an impact you have on us. We can't have a conversation without using one of your catch-phrases. Whenever we catch ourselves doing it, it's a moment both of joy and sadness.
Our particular favourites:
"Yeah...'k" - You started saying this at around 19 months. You only used it for about two weeks, but it stuck, and now it's with us every day. "Would you like a drink Daddy?" "Yeah...k!" comes the reply.
"Check-a some emails" - a cracker from the day you opened your "laptop" for "Christmas". Before you said that, we didn't even know that you knew what emails were. But there you were, waiting patiently while we tried to get your dinosaur puppets out of their box, when suddenly you announced you were going to "jus' check-a some emails". Priceless.
"Bu..bye...BLACK...Rallye in a garage" - we now say this EVERY single time we pass the garage, just as you used to.
Joy surrounds those phrases as we recall the days when the catchphrases were created. Happier days when you spent time with us.
Sadness - immeasurable sadness that we no longer get to see and hear YOU saying them. We remember your catch-phrases and I can write them down, but we miss hearing your voice. We have been watching the videos we have of you over 2010 - your voice has grown and changed so much in those 12 months, we wonder how many new words you know, and how much more fluent your speech has become in the last 12 weeks when we haven't seen you.
We miss you.
