Fly high Choc.

FOREVER #35
We all know this fella who always seemed a happy man, rarely could you find him without a drink in one of his hands.

He was always full of smiles and would always crack a funny joke, anyone that knew him would say he's a top bloke.

Even on his darkest days he would be the light amongst the room, because he knew how much it sucked feeling all that gloom.

He had the biggest heart that he would wear upon his sleeve, knowing that he grew his wings is so hard to beleive.

Anyone that knew him knows at times life would have been a struggle, amongst all of that chaos he always somehow learn to juggle.

All of his hard times and the battles he would face, yet while living for the moment and all his memories we will embrace.

We all know him as Daniel, wood, woody or choc,
When it comes to weekends is when he pulls up his socks.

Kicking goals on the fields while running round and round, it breaks my heart and saddens us we will no longer hear the sound.

Of his beautiful voice that has now become a melody, but I know real deep down he will always be walking next to me.

He wouldn't want us to cry, he would probably call us a sook, in these hard and saddened times he would say for us to look.

On all of our past moments that we shared together, hold them close to you heart and cherish them forever.

When it comes time to say goodbye know that doesn't mean the end, know when you say goodbye it means goodbye until we meet again.

It doesn't take blood to be a father.

These are some words i wrote for my old step daughter who I never really got to say goodbye too and this was the only way I felt I was able to say goodbye.

Here are some words I wrote for my psychologist who called me out of the blue to check in, at a time I probably needed the most. Hearing the tears and emotion in her voice when I read it to her is the reason I enjoy writing so much.

It ain't weak to speak, check in on your loved ones and friends. A phone call can mean more than you realise to some people.

Be kind, always.
