Last week we said goodbye to daddy π€ This photo is how I choose to remember him... Enjoying sharing a book with my little SΓ©, laughing because he could already turn the pages and point to the animals πππ
Daddy was always the 'maths man' in our house. We were directed to him with any tricky maths homework problems, and could be sure that he would bamboozle us with 'old' ways of doing it... which always turned out right!
He gave us every opportunity to achieve and become successful, for which I am so grateful. He will be greatly missed, but we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now reunited with mammy πͺ½π€
Daddy wasn't one for taking much time off! But I'm going to take this week to spend time with my family π¨βπ©βπ§
The Reading Room will open again on Monday 7th August and I look forward to welcoming all my pupils back then to continue our summer reading sessions ππ
Thank you all for your kind words and understanding at this difficult time π«Ά
