So long dad xx

Just took our dad for a transfusion but the exercise was too much for his cancer riddled body.

He died in front of me at the James Cook as they got him off the bed to weigh him and he just shut down.

I'm back at his home where me and my girlfriend moved in to care for him a couple of months back. It's a shame the Boro didn't manage the promotion in the end but he was resigned to going and I suppose it was really quick.

He started taking me to Ayresome as a 4 year old back in 1966, even for the reserves games and he'd often take me to Hutton Road to see them train. Beating the jawdees 2-4 at Sid James' in 78 was a highlight of the many away games we went to. His biggest sacrifice was giving me his ticket for the Millenium Stadium for the League Cup win when he nursed my dying mother back then. He always told me about how we were robbed in the 6th round of the FA Cup against Burnley back in 1947.

Who's going to bail me out now?

RIP Neil. You were a great man,

Sorry to hear that mate, remember your Dad well from the late 70's round your house.
 
So very sorry to hear that Cogeur le Conq, condolences to you and all that knew him.
When we lose parents it is a huge shock whether sudden or through illness and knowing they are slipping away. Celebrate the good times and keep his memory alive within you.

Rest in peace.

So sorry for your loss...love and hugs to you and family and friends x
 
So sorry to hear this, it’s so hard. But after a time when my owld feller had passed I just thought of the great times we had together, especially at the boro, the European nights and of course Cardiff . I could (am) shed a tear now just thinking about it, but it’s a happy tear and that’s what comes after time.

look after yourself and your family they need you now more than ever.

Condolences to you and your family, fella.

You wrote some very nice words there and conveyed what you hoped they would I think.
