Thomas James McGrath "Tommy Mac" Tribute

Today would have been Dad's 78th birthday. Last year, he said he was "77 Sunset Strip" and next he would be "78 trombones"......
Every birthday we would have a tea party at home, and Dad would create his fantasy menu for mum to prepare....the house would be so crowded with family members that we usually would spend most of the day in the garden, eating and joking and telling stories. Dad would always get some novelty gifts, such as funny teeth, false moustaches, glasses with eyes on springs, curly straws etc, and he would keep the kids in the family amused for hours..... We'll all miss him especially today.....

"Loving you is easy, we do it every day. Missing you's a heartache that will not go away..."
