    My mum and dad separated when I was five and I never saw him again.
    Whilst in the army I told myself that once I was out and home I'd search for my dad.
    I left the army in 2000 and tried to find him, unfortunately he had died two years prior from leukaemia.
    This still guts me today as there were so many things I wanted to ask him.
    Don't put off what you can do today and love your family with all your heart!!
    Sleep well Dad and Mum too!! 🙏

I come from a family of joke tellers. My sister and brother came to the hospice and my younger sister said mom was so desperate to get away from me singing she had to die to have me stop. Seriously being alone in the room while my mom passed the greatest and most personal.thing I've done. Farewell to my great Irish mom

    “It’s my time to chase the monsters away.” This line of finality that takes you back to the memories of being tucked in my dad… to a time when you hoped things were eternal. I believe in eternity but regardless of what you believe in or do not, the effect is real either way. Love is real regardless of what you believe.. and love is something that nothing can touch.

    Oh, before they turn off all the lights
    I won't read you your wrongs or your rights
    The time has gone
    I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
    Tell you I love you once more
    The time has gone
    So here it is
    I'm not your son, you're not my father
    We're just two grown men saying goodbye
    No need to forgive, no need to forget
    I know your mistakes and you know mine
    And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
    So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
    Don't be afraid, it's my turn
    To chase the monsters away
    Oh, well, I'll read a story to you
    Only difference is this one is true
    The time has gone
    I folded your clothes on the chair
    I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
    The time has gone
    So here it is
    I'm not your son, you're not my father
    We're just two grown men saying goodbye
    No need to forgive, no need to forget
    I know your mistakes and you know mine
    And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
    So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
    Don't be afraid, it's my turn
    To chase the monsters away
    Sleep a lifetime
    Yes, and breathe a last word
    You can feel my hand on your own
    I will be the last one
    So I'll leave a light on
    Let there be no darkness, in your heart
    But I'm not your son, you're not my father
    We're just two grown men saying goodbye
    No need to forgive, no need to forget
    I know your mistakes and you know mine
    And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
    So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
    Don't be afraid, it's my turn
    To chase the monsters away

      I’m sorry for your loss I lost my dad last year to cancer on the 15th of January. What’s crazy is I had never heard this song until a month after his passing and it was from Iam Tongi’s audition on American Idol. And to make the story unbelievable is that that episode aired the 19th of February well we had my Dad’s ‘Celebration of Life’ just the day before on the 18th of February. I feel like I was hearing it at the right time. And my brothers and our mom watched the audition too. Very emotional 💙

    Was für eine Atmosphäre.
    Still stehen und hören. So ein ein Künstler kommt vielleicht nie wieder

    I lost my dad 6 years ago and am going to our village remembrance service to place a cross and a poppy for him, he volunteered at 18 to protect merchant ships in the Atlantic and then went to Burma, he only briefly talked of the war although he later went on to serve in the Army for 22 years, i miss my dad very much, i will also place a cross under a cherry tree he planted for me, thank you James Blunt for allowing me to feel,
