I hope I make you proud dad, even though you're no longer here,
Your memory has grown stronger, in this passing year,
At the end it was a battle, one you weren't to win,
A fight against a demon, no choice but to give in,
We said goodbye, that morning when you left,
Told you that we loved you, and that you were the best,
Tears I cry in secret, at night before I sleep,
Wishing you were beside me, you'd be forever here to keep,
This years not been easy, they said the pain would go,
It seems I've just got better, not letting my feelings show,
Wishing I could hold your hand, to shout your name aloud,
You're no longer here dad, but I hope I make you proud.

Now Drew, sitting here in my cabin in Abu Dhabi desert I think of you but still cannot believe that I will not see you again. These past few years we became closer than we had been and I would always pay you a visit when on leave. Sometimes we would have a little "session" and I would be the worse for wear the next morning! Nothing could have been more fitting after we said goodbye at Melrose than to celebrate your life in your old golf club, watching the horse racing out the window and with all the family around us. RIP, from your younger brother.
