I lost my Dad in 2009 after a long illness. I think of him everyday, and what he and his buddies did for all of us in WW2. Think about your Dad everyday and try to live your life as you think he would want, thats all I can say. My heartfelt condolences.

Please accept my condolences to yourself and your family. My Dad is seriously ill but I try and remember him in his prime and I try to be as good a Dad to my sons as mine was to me.

My condolences to you and your family as well. My father died suddenly of a heart attack at when I was 13, though I suspect he had the idea it was coming.

Thanks to all for the kind wishes ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and to those on the Forum in similar circumstances around this time ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, MY BEST WISHES !!!!!!!!!!

Talking on the forums about my models has always been therapeutic through good times and bad times.

I am grateful to you all for taking time out to help me through this. At some point I will get back to my models with a renewed vigor knowing that my dad is watching over.

Arron, Holly, Jasmine and Karen give me loads of cuddles and distractions to keep me occupied too.

Thanks again

Nige
