Dad’s Death

On 24 October 2022, Dad died after a long battle with Parkinson’s, and a much shorter battle with heart failure. 

The timing was strange. We sat by his bed for weeks, all of us taking turns to catch his last breath. We’d all said our goodbyes many times over. In the end, I was on a work call, Fie was resting, and Mum was making a cup of tea.

Today the loss is immense. People have told me, terrifyingly, that it doesn’t dim with time. 

My sun has gone out. 

Love you always Dad.
