Quite a while ago now I was looking through some old photo albums and discovered a bunch of pictures from my childhood! Of course I got all nostalgic and teary and even a little bit sad because most of them included my dad. He passed away in 2000 when I was eight years old and it really destroyed me. I was angry and depressed for ten years after that. It's only recently that I've begun to cherish the time I did have with him and feel grateful for having such a beautiful, amazing, strong dad when unfortunately a lot of people aren't so lucky. I know how much he loved me and how much of a fighter he was - he was a very passionate man (I definitely got that from him). People have always said to me that I look a lot like mum but whenever they see pictures of dad they change their tune and say I look so much like him. Apparently when I was born Dad saw me and said that I looked just like him. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos & I'd love it if you posted some photos from your childhood!

With Dad. Handsome devil.

Troublemakers. // Love that bowl cut.

At my cousins wedding looking at the ring. The thing that hurts most about dad's death is that he'll never be at mine.

My mum dressed me in some horrendous outfits.

At the park // Little ducks in a paddling pool.

Cute cute cute. Apparently it was my birthday & I got a karaoke machine.

Bit of face paint.. not sure what we're meant to be. Possibly a butterfly & a cat.
