Highly unlikely anyone on here knew him, but I wrote a wee piece about my Dad who died on May 16th.

If you've a few pennies down the back of the sofa, and the Air Ambulance is something you support, feel free to chip in.

Date set today for Dad's funeral. Now we have to choose photos/videos for the order of service and the ceremony, plus music.

My brain, being a complete dick, just thought "I should phone Dad, he'll have some ideas" followed by a screeching crashing realisation that no, I can't do that.

This stuff is really hard.

Keeping my dead wife’s books safe for our son helped me let go of guilt | Ben O'Mara
By Ben O'Mara

Reading with him, I am reminded of the world of words his mother and I shared. I no longer feel so overwhelmed

Feeling absolutely numb when grieving the recent death of a parent isn't that strange, is it?

I'm empty.
