It was hard for Dad and Conor to go to Dom and Sarah's wedding: their first night out without you. Sheila came along too and after they arrived at the venue, Dad saw someone he recognised. She was a nurse and was there the night you died and had been so supportive that to this day, Dad still thinks of her as an angel. It turned out that she was Dom's mother. Dom, himself a big Liverpool fan, told Dad that later in the evening they would be playing 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.
The wedding party was a huge success. When the time came for the DJ to play your special song, he dedicated it to you and said it was for someone who can't be with us tonight. Everyone stood in a circle with thier arms round each other, trying to sing. Of course, nobody could sing very well for the deep loss that everyone feels for you had reduced us all to tears.
Dad was sobbing, the beautiful bride was sobbing and looking around everybody else was in tears too. All the men went into the garden and Dad thought at first they'd left the hall it was because they were feeling embarrased at the state he was in and to give him time to pull himself together. It was only when Conor innocently asked why everyone in the garden was crying that Dad realised how very deeply your loss was felt by everyone in the room.
Many thanks must go to Dom and Sarak for including this tribute to you on their special day. It was very emotional but gave Dad a special glow to be reminded how greatly loved you were by all who knew you. |
