Lucy92 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'm so so sorry you're having a rough time. I hope your dad starts feeling better soon when you see him you'll get a good feeling for how he really is doing. If you go, set him up a tv at the hospital so he can watch and make a flag that he'll recognise. It may make him smile if he spots it knowing you're having a fab time there, if he's anything like my dad I know he'd want you to enjoy yourself.

gooner1990 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Sadly Dad died last Friday at his home after a 7 year battle with cancer. He always used to watch Glastonbury on TV (always looking out for me in the crowd shots) and used to 30-40 gigs himself a year but camping wasn't for him so never did any with me. (although we did gigs together the last being Richard Ashcroft in Dec 2016) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Sorry to hear that Gooner. Sounds like he was a good un, remember the good times, from what you're saying it sounds like there were many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodiles Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Really sorry to hear that sending best wishes to u and family and friends. Will take time but remember all the good times and a dad that goes to 30 40 gigs a year and goes with his son is cool in my book . My kids don' like a lot of same music as me but the fact that they luv live music makes me really happy . I'm sure he was a good un take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
