He was so into politics, and educated be hugely. He was a local councillor and would eb gearing up now to help with canvassing for general election.

I miss him so much.

DrNortherner - I too have a very politically minded father who is currently suffering from terminal cancer. One thing I have clearly seen since diagnosis is that I will feel exactly as you do on these days.I feel there's no one quite like him to talk to about such things.

I am so sorry for your loss.

for both of you.

I realised last week on the anniversary of my Grandma's death that I haven't had a proper letter for two years.

Sorry to hear about your Dad Latrucha.

I used to be so involved and passionate about politics too, I want to hear all about it, but can't quite bring myself to right now IYKWIM.

Oh God, this is so hard.

Same here Dr N., my dad was involved in local politics and we used to have fabulous and involved debates. But instead here I am coming up to all sorts of horrid anniversaries - 1 year since diagnosis, 1 year since op, then in July 1 year since he died

I am setting up my own business atm and literally think of him all the time because he was my mentor and the one who instinctively got me and would offer me good advice on what to do and where to go

Seems to have gotten worse for me over time - it is simply longer since I have seen him.
