A bride received a message from her dad from beyond the grave on her wedding day – 20 years after his death.
Freya Rosati was just 11 when her tragic parent Philip Hargreaves, lost his battle to oesophageal cancer at 53. But in the weeks before his death, the pub landlord wrote nine cards for the now 32-year-old.
He penned eight for her birthdays and a final one for her wedding day. Her mum, Theresa, 68, read the card to wedding guests in lieu of Philip’s father-of-the-bride speech, leaving everyone in tears.
“He wrote me cards every birthday up until my 18th, then one for my 21st and a final for my wedding day. But the wedding day was the most important one.”
She loved her dad’s cards and said it felt like he was “really there” giving his speech.
“My dad would’ve loved that wedding – just hearing his words, I can imagine him saying them to me,” she concluded.
