Pete, you were like a second dad.
When you took your last breath it made me sad.
You came into my life when I was just sixteen.
You welcomed me like another daughter, and took me under your wing.
You watched from the side as I fell in love with your son.
Gave your blessing the day we said "I Do"
The next 35 years went in the blink of an eye, 6 Grandchildren and 3 Great Grandchildren filled you with pride.
It was nice to have known you, thank you for letting me join your ride.
It's been a mixed 12months, lost 2 very important men in my life, first my dad and then my father in law. However a new grandson born 13 weeks early surviving and thriving every day, these 2 men would be even prouder today. Miss them both very much.
