Happy Heavenly Birthday Phillipe, I think of you often, and wonder how life is upstairs.

Hey Bunny,
Wow 20 years old. Gee time goes fast.
I still think of you often, especially when I´m feeling a bit sad. Your photo up on the fridge reminds me of you and when I read (The Dash), how precious life´s journey is and never to forget that.
The photo on my table of us, taken at your Year 6 Prize Giving, helps me remember the great learning times we had at Sockburn Primary.
Gee Bunny we had some great conversations and learning sessions didn´t we. I hope you still remember me and enjoyed our times together as much as I did.
Hope we can meet again some day.
Ride free and safe
Love Snookie.

Hey mate
We went to the beach on your day. You'd have loved it. Once you got in the water there was no getting you out, ouchy skin or not! We didn't take the diggers and trucks though, you'd have had the girls doing all sorts with those. It's a different life with girls, much less of the rough and tumble from the days of you and Lukie goofing around. Anyway summer was your special time, the time you were born, the time you were taken and the time you loved the most. I hope you're enjoying it out there. We all love and miss you heaps

Long after the footprints fade the memories will remain.
Make some memories while you can because...
Wasting time,
is never wasted
Packed up camp today and thought of you. Tears fell on the tent pegs as I pulled them out. I miss you ever so much
Until we meet

Hey Bunny,
Wow the years have gone fast. I can’t believe your 19! What a wonderful young man you’ve become. I can just see you hands on caretaker at Wigram Primary School (formerly Sockburn) using all the great skills Mr Rob (caretaker) taught you. What a wonderful roll model for all those students you would be passing your gardening skills onto.
I’m retired now Bunny. Did 34 1/2 years as a teacher aide. I wish you could have come to my farewell assembly. I would have had you sitting beside me on stage. You were the best student I ever worked with Bunny and I will never forget you and all the good times we shared at Sockburn.
Enjoy your rides and stay safe.
Love Snookie xx

Hey mate. Gosh we've had some amazing weather for Christmas. Ideal tenting and barbecuing weather, right up your alley. You'd be out there at 5am and never inside again on a day like this. I'm putting our pool up today for Lukie and my other 3 boys, I can still picture you and Lukie splashing and having a blast together as little kids. I bet you'd still dive in with him today and wrestle over the float rings, probably with a beer to the side on the picnic table hehe

Darling just turned 13 and only a few more weeks and Honey will be 16
There's been a lot of talk about you lately and how much we all miss you
I called your name at Matariki this year and thought of you surrounded by whanau which brought a kind of comfort I havent felt before
The girls especially struggle understanding there was no goodbye. I hope in time that pain will ease

Hey Phil, I'm about to turn 18. About time to become an adult. As I move on to this new chapter in my life, I can't help but reflect on moments that have since come and gone and to be grateful for all of them. I think about you, buddy. I know you're still shining as bright as always, riding motorbikes across the clouds. Keep on having fun :)

Hi Bunnie
I often think of you over the years and wonder what you would be doing if you where here with us today! I still have our photo on display in my kitchen and 'The Dash' is still on my fridge. I read it every now and then just to remind me how precious life is and to enjoy each day that I have.
I will never forget you and the amazing times I had working with you at Sockburn School, miss you Bunnie. Love Snookie xxooxx

There's been a few attempts tonight to think of something to write on the eve of your birthday.
None of which sound right.
Happy Heavenly Birthday my Boy!
Do I love you to the moon and back ?
Nope.
I love you to infinity and beyond.
Memories,
Now looked at feel touched with sorrow that your not here to make new ones.
I see you in so many things every day. This time of year would have been tent pegs and bbq's, swimming, ham and fried spuds, motorbikes, and by now a car or at the very least your own tractor. Yeah Dad would have protested and tried to say we didnt have the room but you would have talked him round with dreams of firewood and dragging trailers across muddy paddocks winning him over with that cheeky grin and tilt of you hat.
I miss you kiddo more as the days have turned to weeks and the weeks have become years.
You my boy, will never be forgotten. Cause even though I wasnt yours.... you will always be mine xx
until we meet again

Phil,
One of the bravest kids I ever knew!
Today would mark 6 years since the day you squashed your finger.
You were so brave and made me laugh when I had tears threatening to roll down my cheeks.
Your poor wee finger was swollen and black.... but you still managed to squeeze the heck out of it so it would bleed. You wanted a photo with lots of blood.
I miss everything about you, every day. But im sure you know that.
Darling, she misses you more than you could ever imagine. She promised me she'll never forget you.
So forever kiddo, cause forever is such a long time

Hi Bunny
I still think of you on your birthday and on this anniversary day. It's so unfair you were taken from us. Life can be so bloody cruel. I know in my heart you would have been a wonderful, caring, sensible and loving young man if you were still here.
You would have made your dad and the rest of your family so proud.
Look after yourself and granddad.
Love Snookie xoxoxoxo

Miss you kiddo.
15 ! What a celebration it should had been !
Instead I took a few minutes aside and strolled thru the camping section at mitre10 and imagined all the things you would have wanted (or so desperately needed) this summer. Funny enough I could sense your nagging to hit the chainsaw shops and check out a trailer too.
The honor was mine kiddo. Would change the you and me for anything. Memories for eternity

Well we finally got our last load of wood put away tonight. I could have really used your wood lugging and stacking skills lately! Your cousin did well though with his one piece per hand. I can imagine you two being ultra competitive with you carrying a pile way too big for your arms and Lukie saying "it's not a race I'm not playing " and sulking about it because he couldn't lift as many . I saw Dads message on the weekend and I can't help but think you will be stoked to have Grandad by your side again, he was your best friend since day one. I'm sure you already have a project lined up for the two of you.
June 23, 2018
well hello phill today i have a special message from grandad . Get off my chair im on my way put the jug on boy we have wood to cut and jobs to do.lol.yes son grandad has passed away and is now under your care so its time for you to show him the ropes on what happens up there.until next time son love you miss you more your proud Dad

Life just is not the same without you wee man xxxxxxx think of you daily love mummy xxxxx

A letter from Mark Wells
11 March 2011
I am not familiar with the Scout badge structure but would like to nominate Philip Bunn for some sort of recognition.
Earlier this season, we had a load of firewood dumped on our front lawn, and I was able to move half of it on my days off. The next day, my wife set out to move some more, but Philip came across to our house to help with his trolley and shifted 3 cubic meters of wood for us.He was not only willing and persistent, but he was happy to our 4 year old daughter "help", which mainly consisted of telling Philip what to do.
Since then, Philip has reminded me several times that if I got more wood delivered, he is happy to help us out again
Yours Sincerely
Entered by Joy Bunn ( Nan to Phillipe)

Hey mate,
We got our first ever load of wood today, a huge one ready for our first winter with a fire. You would have loved it and taken charge over how to stack it and which bits should go where. You probably would have decided we needed to cut some ready for the fire just in case, even though its only February. I thought of you the entire time we were stacking it and Lukie and I told Kaitlyn lots about you and your wood obsession while we did it. Im sure you were there with us as we worked, cowboy hat, work boots and high-vis polarfleece and all.

My son, another year is gone, a lot has happened, so much I wanted to share with you. So many moments I wished you were there to see. Your birthday I remembered holding you close as you came into the world in such a hurry eager to see what life was all about. Constantly proving to your dad and I you could do it by yourself. Life is not the same any more. The moments come and go and the world continues to spin. I see you I hear you and I feel you all around me. I know you will be waiting on the flip side for us all son. Not a moment goes by you are not in my mind or my heart. Love from mummy xxx

Where do we put all the dreams we had for you?
Of camping and college, of cars and kids, of birthdays and Christmas?
Where do we put all this sorrow that sits in our heart waiting for your return
There are no answers,
So until we met we met we will cherish every moment we had
The good , the great and the not so great days.
So much changes, missing you doesnt.
Our hearts ache,
As do our arms for the want of wrapping you safely in them
So until we met again Philly, don't ride faster than your angels can fly

hi son i hope you have had a fantastic Christmas.. our thoughts of you have traveled with us and so has your photo.on new years eve we let a candle off at uncle johns just so you would no how to find your way home and that you did.today we are at moeraki camping for three nights and what a great spot .ive seen many dads down on the beach with there sons fishing and that makes me sad that you are not here for us to enjoy the same thing.i bought your new fishing rod with us but haven't been brave enough to use it yet .i can hear you saying come on dad we will miss the tide as always.friday we will head home as we have to pick up a heap of firewood we have picked up on trade me for Nan.as us usual in the last while you are missing in action .but i no you are watching every move i make .nothing is the same son but every thing for a reason aye.sounds like Ive being listening to mum to much aye lol.i bought heaps of tin signs when we have been traveling so really good man cave ones . although we have had a great time we have missed you dearly and regardless of the time you have been gone it doesn't get any easier.grandad asks about you often and Nan misses you dearly as we all do.until next time ride safe my boy love you miss you more your proud dad. p/s ill get mum to send you a photo of what father Christmas bought for me this year youl love it.
December 25, 2017
Another birthday, another Christmas, another year gone without you.
Its this time of year, the time to trip over tent pegs on the way to the clothesline! By now there would have been a month of camping in the back yard with everything you could find to add to the excitement. Including anything that Dad would have stashed away (shower tent lol)
I miss the adventures, your quest for mischief. Which you would have called inspecting. But sadly the tent sits and gathers dust, nothing is the same without you. The space you left ever grows bigger, nothing can nor will ever fill the void your passing has left.
I often think of the journey you now travel, over the rainbow but not so far away.No matter our journey now we are reminded of your unique approach, of how you would have done things your way. We love you as much as yesterday and will miss you more as each day passes. I know your watching on with encouragement, laughter and tears too.
Until we met again Son,
As always

Hi Bunny, Gee 14 on Tuesday. I can't believe another birthday has gone by - you should have been here to celebrate it(life sucks at times).
I know in my heart that if you were here you would be an amazing, caring, loving and wonderful young teenager.
I still look at our photo(sitting in it's special place) and wonder why you had to leave the world at such a young age. What a waste!
I think of you often and miss you.
Love Snookie xoxo
PS: I went surf casting last Saturday and caught 2 Elephant fish. They were huge! Wish you could have been here to see the photos.
December 12, 2017
Phil, our nephew; master of excuses, lover of argument and mischief maker with the big heart. You should have been celebrating 14 (goin' on 30) years young today.... always on our mind and forever in our hearts. Your roguish ways made you lovable and a pain in the butt at times but you were our (family) pain in the butt and we loved you. Miss you more than words can say. Little things bring you to mind....at the moment it's when I'm cooking Uncle Al his fried spuds and ham....you know what I mean...
Aunty Ree and Uncle Al and cousies.

Hey Son, I haven't done this until now, your dad suggested it might help. Time has not made this any easier for all your people you left behind baby. I never ever thought I would have to do this, I never thought I would have to say goodbye to you, Every morning I wake up and you are the first thing that I think of. And many times through the day. I feel you all around me all the time baby, And I see the signs you leave me so I know you are there.

Phil,
There are so many way I miss you. The morning greet "Morena" leaving Dad to roll his eyes at our foreign language. You always loved my cooking, And now shortbread isn't made cause it just makes me sad. Dad manages the wood on his own, but it takes him forever without you. He even caught a cold last weekend! Oh and Dad got to meet Bill English , I think you would have been taller cause he is ever so short.
Its not fair is it !That all these memories are all we have left. The space is always empty and it will be until we meet again. Watch over your Dad, he misses you so much. And watch over your cousins, Lukie and Riley.
Until we meet again

Hey mate easter didn't get any easier this year than it was last year.. I've thought of you all weekend long as did your cousin. We speak of you every day and the gap you've left can never be filled. The kids missed you during their egg hunt on Sunday and I missed our Sunday cuddles and cartoons. You're never far from my mind xxxx

I looked at that page where the book mark is left, forget-me-not.
So I read thru the pages, there wasn't a lot.
But the story was told, and now more than ever.
It wasn't so random it was rather quite clever.
There will never be a farewell, goodbye, see you later
Because love is forever and that's much greater
Loved you then. Love you still
Always have always will xx
