Happy birthday to my wonderful, amazing, much loved and missed dad - Alan Hooper. xx Dad you took my hand in yours when I was born I knew how much you loved me as I did you Being with you was a joy, my happy place You made me laugh, and taught me love and kindness You taught me to always believe in myself and achieve my dreams The lessons I learned from you are the joy of living, and being who I am meant to be Now you are no longer here I think about you every day, doing my best to find the right way The special love and bond we share, between my heart and yours Means we will never be apart Love you always and forever xx
