If only I had known that night would be the last time we would speak, I would have said many more things, held you tight and stayed at your bedside all through the night; to have been there to say goodbye to you, my loving dad, my true friend. Xxxxxx

Dad, thankyou for all the good times we had together, I can look back on those memories and smile. Thankyou for being there for me whenever I needed help, advice, or just someone to talk to. We were devastated when you were diagnosed back in March, and I know that you were too and you were frightened of what was to come. We were so proud of how you fought your illness every step of the way, never giving up, never questioning why me? Never showing any bitterness. You were such a strong loving person right up until the end and I endeavour to be like you. When I'm sad, lonely, scared or angry I will remember how you would have handled the situation, and I will seek comfort from that. You were the best dad anyone could ever wish for and you were taken away from us far too soon. I am comforted by the thought that you are in a better place now, no longer suffering and I hope that one day we will meet again. Until then rest in peace, we will miss you always. Love you Dad, and keep sending those signs. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We hope that you find this tribute to Antony a place of comfort, support and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
