Dedicated to the memory of Richard Garratt

Whilst Richard had all of us to talk to, it is important to highlight the need for work to be done to support the well-being of young men and encourage them to talk.  It is for this reason we have chosen the ManUp charity.

Thoughts

My amazing amazing uncle . I can’t Belive it’s been 2 years since you were taken from us. Not a day goes past when I don’t think about you and what such and amazing gentlemen you were . You loved us all so much , and we all love you so much . I miss the smell of your cigarettes and the sound of your laughs . I miss the way you could light up any room . You could make us all happy in a blink of an eye . This man I am so proud to call my uncle . He was such a gentleman and although I was only young (10) I still couldn’t belive that you were gone with no notice . I thought it was so unfair you still had a long life to live . I was so angry and upset cause I missed you so much .We had such a special and strong bond which could beat any other uncle and niece duo’s . I say niece but I have never been christened and for all those years you were alive you treated me like pure royalty . I always hoped that one day I could get christened and you would be my godfather . You would have made an amazing dad , the way you treated all us children . In our family there is something missing now . On the plane journey to a place of all our dreams , we took up 14 seats ( minus Nani and papi as they didn’t fly ) and on the way home there was only 13 seats .We miss you very much . I miss painting you chubby finger nails with pink glittery nail polish or playing dress ups with you . You were such a gent and kind and respectful man to everyone who came into your presence. I will always love you . Forever and always ( you’ll always be my favourite forever and ever nothing can change that ) I will always love you and as soon as I am old enough I am going straight to that tattoo Parlour to get your name / initials printed on me . Your such a special person Richard . I will forever and always love you . I miss you so much my sweet sweet angell , fly high 🕊️we all love you xx

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
