I Miss My Dad

My Dad was dying of malignant melanoma. I live in the US with my wife and we have a son, Sam, now nearly 18 months old. I was here when i heard the news of my dad's illness. It terrified me to know i would be losing him. I wanted him to see his grandson, to visit me here and see my new life and make him proud. The cancer hit him too quickly though, he had planned to visit but couldn't. I was so disappointed. When his illness got bad I flew with my wife and son to England. My Dad's first words about his grandson were "You didn't tell me he was so beautiful". He cradled him with his one good arm and cooed and Sam just stared and grinned up at his Grandfather. The day i flew back i knew i would never see my dad again and it broke my heart to walk away. He never ate after that day and died 12 days later. He had waited just to see us and then let go. I loved him so much both for his strenghts and weaknesses. I miss him so much and tears are rolling down my face as I write this. My Dad was a tough man but he would kiss and hug me in front of his tough pals. He didn't care what people thought. He gave me love and it is with me now.

I love you Dad
