A beautifully written and poignant tribute that would make your Dad very proud. Your words made the tears involuntarily run down my cheeks and miss my own Dad even more. No matter how long the goodbyes are; they always feel way too short.

I loved what you said about grandchildren because there is this special, unbreakable bond between me and mine. If my grandchild is to be my goodbye to the world then it is quite simply the most spectacularly, marvellous experience my heart could ever hope for.
