Thanks for the comments everyone - I really love reading them, they’re so comforting. Same as what Matt said really, it’s been a big year for the family and it really is sad he’s not here to share that with. That being said, we are living lives that he’d be extremely proud of, and even though he set us up to lead those very lives I can still imagine he’d say ‘genie’ if he were to know the things we’ve been getting up to … Matt’s wedding in Tuscany, me moving to Lyon, Alex about to set off on a 2600km hike across America, Mum and I seeing Springsteen! Might sound a bit strange as one of the top things to miss but I do miss hearing Dad’s random little archaeology facts, however I’ve got Alex, who has absolutely taken on Dad’s passionate intellectual side, always sharing deep fun philosophy things! Dad was also super caring, more so than most. Matthew got this trait from dad, it’s defo not been lost when we have him 🥰 I loved so much how friendly dad was, he was the most people-person person I know. I like to think this is what I’ve taken from Dad. He’s missed, but he’s also found in a lot of people and places :))
