Do you both remember when we used to go kite flying at Allonby?  You had a yellow kite with a huge long tail Mogs, that you got the hang of and yours was a stunt kite Kee, that was a bit more difficult to handle and used to come crashing down.  I would go back and forward between you both, getting them airborne again.  Don’t know what happened to the yellow kite but I still have the stunt kite whenever you fancy flying it again.  We would finish with an ice cream from Twentymens just to round things off on those hot and windy days.  xx

Hello Kee and Mogs,

I expect you will be nearly through your exams now and probably feeling a mixture of stress and anticipation of the end and the desire to do well.  These are all emotions to be expected and I hope you are coping well with this and can channel that nervous energy into getting the job done.  If you can set aside your looking to the future and focus on the exam in the present this would be best use of your energy.  Strong desire to do well will only distract you from achieving a good outcome.  So my thoughts and love are with you during this time, stick in and don’t be too hard on yourselves.

We used to have a very large Camper van or mobile home which I used to use to take you camping.  One afternoon after having packed it all up ready for departure I’d left Morgan on her own playing in it.  Unbeknown to me you had picked up a strip of travel sickness pills and were chomping your way through them when I found you.  Probably just a precaution but when I took you to A&E rather than spending a night on a pleasant camp site we both spent all night on the children’s ward whilst you were being observed!

Hi Kee and Mogs,

do you remember the sunny days when we used go off and do things?  I was thinking back to when I used to take you fishing usually at Workington or Whitehaven, the first time I think was with Dec and Jord came once too.  We all caught fish but my abiding memory is of how many Morgan used to catch.  One particular day at Whitehaven there was a fish caught every time almost you cast out your line, I can remember being amazed and amused by this.

Hello Keenan and hello Morgan,

I hope you are well today and everything is going ok for you.  What plans do you have for the summer holidays which are coming up fast?  I expect you will be kicking back a bit after all the exam pressure and perhaps reflecting on how it went.  All the best to you enjoy every minute.

love Dad xx

Hello Keenan and hello Morgan,

It’s a lovely day outside, I hope you are enjoying the weather.  I expect you are both working hard on your revision for your exams?  How is this going, good I hope, just remember you don’t have to be the best just the best you can be, so don’t stress too much.  I hope the exams are going well and that you get the results you want for your future endeavours but whatever happens I will be thinking of you as I do always and holding my hopes together for you both.

Good luck

love Dad xx
