I like this photo so wanted to share it :) If anybody reads this, appreciate what time you have with your parents whilst you can.!
It's all happened too quick for me to absorb. It's like you're in a fog with things happening around you. Six weeks ago he was helping me plasterboard a ceiling, three weeks ago he was diagnosed with cancer and today he's gone.... He was the best dad I could have ever hoped for and I'm going to miss him very very much! Merry Christmas internet people, hope you have a good one!

I just lost my dad too. Diagnosed a week after his 85th birthday and gone a few weeks later. He was so great. My heart goes out to you.

I’m sorry. That’s just shitty. Mine too. Way too early. You have a right to grieve but you have an obligation to come out of it in a while.

So sorry for your loss. I lost my big sister to kidney cancer a couple of years ago. She battled for 15 months but it was still too quick

The pain of loss is slowly replaced by the best memories. Hang in there and be there to keep the family together

No one really knows what you are going through except those that have lost someone very close to them.
