To Dad

Unfortunately, there seems to be days where you want to turn back time. Dad has been travelling with us for the last couple of month which has been absolutely fantastic. Just having lost mum, having dad by my side was everything I wanted. However, things turned bad when Dave and I turned off to do the Gibb River Road. A few days into the track I received a message saying that Dad had turned back to go home. Dad felt unwell and lethargic so thinking it was for the best, he headed for home to relax. Now I think about it, it seemed my fault. We travelled long distances, hard rough roads, and only stayed in places for a few days. Unlike when mum and dad travelled; things were short sharp and sweet. I forget sometimes that my dad is getting older and need to take things easy. To dad: I apologies a million times. We offered to slow down but he thought only of us and said he was happy to go home.

Dad, you are the best farther any daughter could have...Love you lots.
