The Day The Earth Stood Still

I held his hand.  I kissed his hand.  I begged him not to leave me.  I told him I needed him.  But more importantly I told him I loved him.

He is my hero.  He is the Guide and the Weight of My World.  He is my everything.  And I am his mini-me.

I held his hand.  He took his final breath.  Or at least we thought he did.  He is stubborn.  He is brave.  He is courageous.  He is the most amazing man that I will ever know.  He is a fighter.  He is my father.  He is my daddy.

I miss him.

Rewind.....

03 February 2011

It was about 10pm when I got home.  The house was empty but that wasn't anything out of the ordinary.  Daddy goes to Tescos at all sorts of hours for bits and bobs.

"You might want to sit down," my step mum told me when she got in.

A Brain Tumour.

    Your words are so touching, I'm sure your dad would be a very proud man. Try and keep strong in this difficult time. My thoughts are with you xx

    I hope so, everything I've ever done, and will ever do is all to make him proud of me

    It's the best relationship I could have ever asked for.  And I still have it with him.  Whilst everyone else appears to struggle, he's holding my hand along the way, filling me with peace and love

    I feel the same with my dad, we were very close, closer than ever in he end.  i was his rock and he wanted to be near me, felt safe with me around.  I couldn't have done any more for him, been with him anymore.  Now I feel a warmth of peace around me and I know it's him.  Others don't have that, they suffer with guilt, i have no guilt.  My dad is now safe and warm, and nothing can hurt him anymore.
