Mum you showed me how to take my first steps in life. Dad you taught me to be independent by teaching me to ride a bike and travel from A to B on my own. Dad your birthday is in days time and I still wish you were here to celebrate it. Christmas is ow its way - I have wonderful family memories of traditional Xmas celebrations and I thank you both for that. Mum preparing the xmas pud and xmas cake, the smell was glorious and dad making my dolls house whilst I was in bed but creeping down one night for a drink to see it, not knowing it was for me. How lucky were we!!!!!
