I hoped to read this poem to my Dad but he passed away just before Father's Day last year.
One of the hardest things is saying goodbye to a loved one. If this is to be your last Father's Day with your Dad I hope these words offer you some help. Love Jeremy x

This is so heartbreaking; He's just a kid. The pain in his voice is evident.
This is institutional racism in action.
Daryl McLune, 16 at the time, was arrested in Wandsworth in July 2021 on suspicion of attempted murder after his mum, Annette McLune, jumped from the roof of their flat in a suicide attempt.
He'd been at his grandma's and cycled home to find his mum critically injured. He was then handcuffed in the street and held for nearly 24 hours, despite not being involved.
Police later found a suicide note and razor blades showing it was self-harm, and he was released without charge. The experience left him with PTSD and affected his schooling.
He later sued the Met Police, and a jury found he was racially discriminated against and treated less fairly than a non-Black boy would have been, awarding him £130,000.
His barrister said it wasn't careful policing, it was a child in crisis being wrongly treated as a suspect, and that discrimination can be unconscious.
When I broke up with my boyfriend, I thought the hardest part would be getting over him.
I was wrong.
Three months after the breakup, I was out for a run when my phone buzzed with a notification from my fitness app.
“Congratulations! You and Ryan have completed 1,000 miles together!”
My heart stopped.
Ryan was my ex.
I had removed him from every account I could think of.
Apparently, I had forgotten about the fitness app.
I immediately deleted him.
A few minutes later, I got a text from an unknown number.
“Guess you finally noticed.”
I blocked it.
Another number texted.
“You should really check your privacy settings.”
That night I went through every account I owned.
That’s when I found it.
A deaf black man is opening a coffee and arts shop in south London, SE18 3TB, grand opening is 13 June. All coffee and pastries are £1 for the day, go support.
At this point prices in The UK are just made up:
What do you mean a return train to London is £140?
How is a weekend away in England £600? I can go abroad for a week for that!
Why is a house that was £700 a month a few years ago now £1500 a month?
How is a full tank of fuel now costing more than £100?
Why is my car insurance going up every year on the same car with no claims?
How is 2 carrier bags of shopping costing me nearly £100?
We're honestly done aren't we.
Honestly, this is the right response. Fix your issues and finish the term.
Can’t support MPs throwing toys out of the pram instead of doing their job.
They want to be oppressed so badly when there are actual issues to address. War, inequality, potholes, housing, poverty, national security, transport, utilities?.
Focus.
