Dear Boys,

As much as I love you I have no fight left in me. For five years I have tried everything possible to see you, I have spent thousands of pounds and lots of heartache only to hear that you hate me. I don’t blame you, and Steven I will never forget that you held out for me, but if I continue as I am it will destroy me.

I am getting married again to a lovely woman and she has four children. They love me and need my attention now. I will never forget you and you will always have a special place in my heart and if you ever want to know the truth you can find me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTOPHER!

I hope you have a great birthday and got all the presents you wanted.  Did you get the money from Nan and Aunty  Bev? Nan has just got out of hospital after having her knee replaced but is doing quite well although it is very painful.

Are you still working as hard at school? I was very pleased to see how well you were doing when I went to your parents evening - what subjects have you decided to take?  Have you decided what you want to do when you leave school yet?

Hi Elliott and Steven I hope you are both well and having lots of fun. Remember you can contact me at any time either through the website or by phone

WELL DONE ELLIOTT!

I’m so proud of you. I went to meet your teachers today at parent’s evening and they said you were doing fantastically well. You need to improve your handwriting a bit - but they all said you were a lovely boy.

Chris, bumping into me must have been a shock. Just remember that I love you and always have. I am not angry with you for the things you said to me. I know that deep down inside you know the truth.

Stevie, I hope that you are being good and I miss you loads. Remember that I am always here if you ever need me.

Lots of love

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLIOTT

I hope you have a great birthday Elliott and get lots of nice presents, I know Auntie Bev and Nanny have posted cards and presents to you. I have just received you first school report - well done!  You are obviously working very hard, are you still playing football? Are you in the school team?

I had a good birthday I went up to Stamford Bridge to look round Chelsea’s ground it was brilliant!  I have some pictures of me in the dressing room with John Terry and Frank Lampards shirt as well as Drogba and Robben! What team do you support? I hope its Chelsea does Steven still support them? What about Chris is he still skateboarding?

Have a great Birthday and remember I have never stopped loving you and will always be here if you ever need me.

Lots of love Dad XXX

HAPPY NEW YEAR BOYS

I hope you had a great Christmas and got lots of nice presents. I hope you liked the ones from Nanny and Auntie Bev. I had a good time when I went up to see your cousins and Auntie Bev at Christmas. Ruthie is doing her first gymnastics competition in February and Jack and Adam are almost taller than I am! Your cousin’s cats are lovely and rushed about all over the place the whole time I was there.

We all miss you and I look forward to seeing you all very very soon!!!!

Dear Boys,

I hope you are all well. I miss you loads. Have you been anywhere nice for your holidays? I hope so. So far this year I have been to Disneyland Florida and New Zealand and am only sad that you couldn’t come with me - maybe next time!

Chris, I know you know I’ve spoken to your teacher as I was concerned by your last report which showed you don’t seem to be trying as hard this year. Please work hard this year as it is a very important year for you because you take your options.

Elliott I hope you like your new school. Are you at the same one as Chris?

Steven, I hope you are still working hard and keeping an eye out for your birthday and Christmas wishes in the local paper.

Take care, I miss and love you all

Happy Birthday Christopher!

Hope you had a great time and that now you are thirteen you are old enough to understand what has happened and I look forward to you contacting me soon. If not, how about Nan, especially as she has just got out of hospital following cancer treatment.

Hi Boys,

Happy Birthday Elliott! I hope you have a great birthday and got the presents and cards from Nanny and Aunty Bev?

As you may remember I am not allowed to send you anything but it doesn’t mean I forget your birthday!

I have been very busy with work and if the weather keeps improving I will soon be getting my bike out of the garage and back on the road. I’ve got a Honda CB600 now, its great fun!

Take care I love and miss you all.

Hi Boys,

It was my birthday yesterday. Had a great time. I went out for a meal although the table was covered in plastic hearts - that’s what you get when you have a birthday on Valentines Day!

Hope you got lots of Valentines cards, Elliott - I bet the postman needed a lorry to deliver yours!

Lots of love,

Dad x
