My Dad passed away 11 days ago now.
Although he previously had a heart attack and had been on medication for 10 years, the day he died was still a shock.
Only a few days before I had spoke to him about a family holiday from my childhood.
Things were looking up for me regarding my anxiety and I wanted to help my Dad with his. It is too late now and that's makes me feel sad and guilty that I did not do it before, but how could I? I wasn't in the right frame of mind.
Everything my Dad did was for other people and he found it hard to let people close. He did his best in everything, driven by his compassionate nature.
I always made an effort to keep in touch and instead of beating myself up, I too have come to the conclusion that I also do my best, just like my Father did before me.
MY DAD
"I have lost my my Dad and I am sad
He always did his best.
He came from dust where he shall return
Now his mind's at rest."
My loyal caring Dad
