Who would have thought our little family gesture would become what it did?

The first humble goal of £100 that quickly became 1000 Believing that would be tough enough, we just couldn't believe it could we when it reached £38.9 million?

We are so proud of the way you handled everything that happened as your hearing loss made interviews a little tricky.

I willingly became your ears as we sat shoulder to shoulder.

We had so many moments of utter joy and laughter as we prepared for each and every interview Colin Benji in Georgia, watching with amazement as they saw you on every TV channel and on the front page of almost every paper.

You are not a man in the habit of expressing your inner feelings, but this time together evoked an honesty between us that felt as magical as you becoming a beacon of light and hope to the world.

We are also proud of everything you have achieved and promised to keep your legacy alive.

Thank you for all the special times we've shared.

Our relationship cannot be broken by death.

You will be with me always, Daddy I am so proud of you.

What you achieved your whole life.

And especially in the last year, you may be gone by your message and your spirit lives on.
