Hi everyone

I wasn't going to post this, then I was, then I wasn't, but I have finally decided to mention it because I miss him so much.
But, just to let you all know, I am sorry I haven't been on the forum a lot recently, but my dad has been unwell, and well, he died a couple of weeks ago.

I really miss him.

Oh Graham, so glad you were brave enough to post this. Many of us know what you will be going through right now, and I am sure we all sympathize with you.

Believe me, there will come a time when you can remember your dad without it hurting, and you will recall all the good times that you and the family had with him.

'Death leaves a heartache
difficult to heal;
love leaves sweet memories
no one can steal.'

Commiserations, Gray.

Thanks again everyone, your kind words mean an awful lot.
My Dad was a huge Matt fan, and through the Lp's my Dad collected, I listened to Matt, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn and the rest, from an early age. :)

Gray I just read your original post again and it brought tears to my eyes - I can feel the pain you feel through your words as it's written from your heart.

Gray, I see we have the love of the music through our Dad's. Just like Karl, I was overcome with emotion when I re-read your words. I hope you and your family are doing well.
