RIP dad

Your post was a great tribute to your da mate and showed in just a few words how much he meant to you. Made me think of my own da.

All the best and so sorry for your loss - you’ll never forget him but it gets easier and the memories will bring a smile.

So my dad passed away at 1655 today.We knew it was likely to be today and I planned to watch my last game with him even though we would only be there in body. Whatever happened today I was going to tell him that Luke had just lashed a screamer into the top corner to win it and we've finished 7th and are in Europe.

So I had the game on the laptop and the lads did us proud - He was unconscious and sedated and passed peacefully. I hope he heard some of my dodgy commentary. This was our 50th year of following the lads together. What a milestone.

He told me he picked out Sunderland in a 1956 FA cup draw at school which lead him to follow them. I'm not sure that's true as his dad and grandparents were from Shildon and Canny Hill..Either way I'm glad he did and passed that down to me.

Joanne Youngson was amazing and got me some Heaven Branch grass clippings in 24 hours so he had those on his pillow this afternoon. Thank you so much Joanne.

Sorry for this post, I just wanted to share the news that another MLF has passed.

He won't be here next week for Chelsea but I'lll still run through the match report with him. Cancer sucks. Haway the dad x

So sorry, mate. Your dad will have cherished all those memories he shared with you and the lads over the years.

He heard every word of it lad, God Bless you and your father. I'm sure he was a great man and a better Dad.
 
Sorry for your loss, although it comes to us all and even we think we are prepared when a loved one is battling a long illness, it still takes a long time to come to terms with it. Your post speaks volumes of the relationship you had with your Dad and I'm sure he is looking down and is very proud of the man you have become.
