Many condolences
I really take the positives from your post though, the fact that your old man took you to the football and got you hooked on the town. The obvious pride he felt at you introducing your boy and his grandson to our footballing religion and those memories and times you shared should always make you smile. I've had some real touch and go stuff with my dad (double heart bypass) in the last 12 months and it really makes you think about what sacrifices they made for you and the efforts they made to make your life what it's been.
Think positive, after all without him, you wouldn't have been as good as you are!
Nice post.
