He died peacefully with my mum beside him. He's only 64, but has been very ill with cancer for a long time, and the last few months in particular have been very tough.

Know exactly what you are going through and i have just posted this poem on another thread but i will post it here also

NEXT TO YOU
You cannot see or touch me
But im standing next to you
Your tears can only hurt me
Your sadness makes me blue
Be brave and show a smiling face
Let not your grief show through
I love you from a different place
Yet im standing next to you

Thinking of you
