My Dad
“I will smile and remember…
Some days he is never far from the front of my mind. I will smile and remember things like our ridiculous, boisterous conversations at our weekly dinner with the girls. His inability to play ‘cards against humanity’ because he’d be in a fit of laughter with actual tears, slapping his legs before we could even finish reading his card😂 Anyone who knows my sisters and I, know how loud and stupid we go when we are all together... well we got that from our Dad. Just imagine us all whenever our signature song Bohemian Rhapsody comes on. I will never forget the last birthday we shared with him for his surprise 60th. The night ended with the Portelli girls and their Dad absolutely breaking it down with song and dance in front of what ended up like an audience😂 Other days are a daily struggle to stop myself from over thinking about what he was going through this time last year all alone. It breaks my heart to know that we will never be able to make anymore memories. I have always been a preacher of appreciating every moment and everyone in your life, as you never know when it could be someone’s last.. but absolutely nothing prepares you for when someone is suddenly taken from you. One year. We’re all missing you Dad💙”
