I love you, Dad. You didn't deserve to have cancer. You didn't deserve any more suffering. You were tortured by your mind, I know that. You'd take it out on us, and I always resented you for it. But... there were times when the real you came out, and I saw the kind, genuine, warm man who had the most incredible capacity for love and forgiveness. I forgave you, Dad. In those final moments I forgave you, and you found it in your heart to forgive me. No matter how bitterly we fought, you always forgave me. I'm sorry I couldn't until the end. The emptiness I feel without you is indescribable. I want you to come through the front door on a Monday night, bang on 10 o'clock, and tell me about band. I want to fight for the TV again. I want to see you jokingly threaten to steal my food as I walk past you with lunch. I want to come downstairs on a Sunday morning, woken by the sound of Louis Armstrong on the stereo and the smell of fresh coffee. I want to hear you quote your favourite line from the "Blues Brothers". I want to play virtual golf on the computer with you and sing to you. You taught me valuable life lessons - to carry on no matter what, to love, to forgive, and to make music. You gave me my stubbornness, quirky sense of humour and unwavering dedication to the ones I love. I know you loved us, Dad. You were ill, and I know you never meant to hurt us.
Rest in peace, Dad. There's nothing left to be afraid of. I love you, Dad. You didn't deserve to have cancer. You didn't deserve any more suffering. You were tortured by your mind, I know that.
