I got that phone call in the early hours that nobody wants.

Dad has gone.. passed away in his sleep, you  need to come as soon as possible.

I can’t believe how quick my world has been turned upside down. October this year, dad was as bright as he had been for months. Started new Chemo (Taxol) on the 12 October, & he and the Dr we’re very positive about the whole situation.

i visit dad in early November and I can’t believe what this terrible illness had done. He was not the man I loved and worshiped. Yet the Dr and dad we’re happy with how the treatment was going. Dad tells me I need to go home to the UK as my life is over in England, “Come back in the New Year” bring the kids, and we can all go out as a family.

The next month dad must have just given up his fight, as went down hill so fast that he lost his long battle.

I’m broken inside, I knew he was fighting a loosing battle, but I never got the opportunity to say good bye and thank him for being the best dad anybody to wish for.
