This card is for my Father in Law. Who is also having his 81st birthday on Fathers day! Hope he likes it.
Sadly my own Father died suddenly 16 years ago so none to make for my own. My Sis has just been chatting about "our dad" and saying she wanted to give him a card (Amy is 32 and has downs syndrome). We have decided we are still going to celebrate for him as he is still our dad. So tomorrow we will have a cup of tea and a custard cream in his honour - his favourite biscuit. We have to eat it just like he did - bite off the top, scrape off the cream and dunk the bottom! Sounds yuck but its what he did and a memory we have of him doing many times. memories like that are soooo precious!

keep those memories, they are so precious and nothing or nobody can take them away xxx
