i have decided to keep the details of my dad’s passing to myself and my family. just know that he passed at home and with me there. his last request to me was for me to be the last thing he saw, and he got his wish. as per his post-life wishes, he has been cremated and will be with me wherever i go. he did not want a ceremony or celebration of life. so he will be celebrated through this post here. please feel free to send me any pictures or videos or funny stories you have of him (i know you guys have some insane stories, knowing my dad, so im ready to hear them all). it might take me some time to get through all of the messages as i’m still suffering quite a bit, so please be patient with me. i do also want to quickly just thank those of you who were patient with me the last week and gave me the space i needed. and for those of you who so graciously sent me any amount of money, you have no idea how much i appreciate it and how much it has helped me. i am extremely grateful 💜
i had typed the following in my notes app over the last week and i’ve been hesitant on posting it. but maybe it needs to be out there. so, here are my thoughts over the last week, and this shall be the last i post in detail. i want whatever future posts i make about dad to be short, sweet, and filled with love 💜
it’s nearly impossible to put everything you are to me into words and in only a few paragraphs.
everyone who’s ever crossed paths with you knows that there is not another person like you. you are one of a kind.
you showed me a love that i’ll never experience again. i will forever miss your hugs, your reassurances, your words of wisdom, your questionable dad jokes that i’ll only now find funny, the way you could make me smile no matter the situation. your love.
you’ve taught me everything i know about music. you’ve guided me through the lowest moments of my life up to this point. you’ve taken me to all of my dream places around the world. you’ve help me accomplish my dreams. you’ve set the bar so high for me, and told me that should be my expectation and to settle for nothing less. you’re my best friend. everyone says they have the best dad, but they’re wrong. i am the luckiest girl in the world to have you as my dad, because you are the best. there couldn’t possibly be a better dad than you. how i am going to navigate a life without you physically here, i have no idea. but i know you will guide me.
you are the strongest person i’ve ever known. you fought every single day to the end. you’re finally no longer in pain and that is the only thing bringing me any sense of peace. you believed that when you did pass, you’d be in heaven with God, so i know that’s where you are. painless, in a heaven version of greece, with a shandy in hand, watching my every step.
you lived such a beautiful life and accomplished so many things. you have always been my biggest inspiration and motivation, and you will continue to be. you never passed up the chance to tell me how much you loved me and how proud of me you were, so i will continue to make you proud. you always told me to take your strength and use it. now that you’re no longer here, i need it more than ever. i know you’ll be with me everywhere i go, so ill be looking for all the ways you’re sayin hi & guiding me to where i need to go. one day i’ll end up back in scotland so we can both be home.
as you told me yourself, you’ll be my guardian angel. how lucky am i to have the best one.
i love you with all my heart. i’ll see you again someday💜
