My dad 22:25 - Apr 8 with 7406 viewsbosh67

My dad, Paul passed away this morning at Watford General Hospital from cancer and Coved19. I hadn't been able to see him for 3 weeks because the hospital couldn't allow visitors, which I totally understand. He managed to hold on long enough to wish me happy birthday on the phone yesterday, for which I will always be truly grateful.

My dad took me to my first QPR game when I was 5 and we sat side by side at QPR through the bad times, the even worse times, the just plain awful times and the occasional amazing and 'why we all love QPR' times. 46 years we sat together with my dad asking me why certain substitutions had been made and others not, and why the manager had no idea what he was doing. But we loved it and it was so lovely to be with my dad sharing that. Even over the last year when my dad wasn't so feeling so good we would talk after every game and talk every day about what was going on at the club. He really loved Rangers and win lose or draw we just loved being there watching the game with all the great people we got to know around us. I have missed it and will miss it a lot.

The doctors, nurses, surgeons and everyone who looked after my dad are putting their lives on the line for us and I just wanted to recognise, having seen it all first hand, what an amazing group of people they are. Coved19 is really evil. Really evil. I've been stuck in 2 A&E lock downs and it really is a plague.

I will miss being at games with my dad but I have been lucky to spend so much of my life with him at our wonderful club.

Please stay safe out there everyone.

You've mentioned your Dad many times over the Years on here Bosh, it's plainly obvious you thought the World of him.
He's at peace now God bless you both.

My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

Sorry to hear your sad news mate.At least now your dad is free from pain and suffering.
I was lucky to be with my dad as he took his last breath 27 years,but that is a luxury denied to so many these days with this terrible disease.
Hold on to those good memories mate because they will comfort you on your journey through the grief of losing him.
Even after all these years I still miss the old bugger and would give anything to spend another session with him in the pub.
Best wishes to you mate and condolences to all your family.

Bosh67 you've been one of my favourite well-put well-argued
judicious posters here on LFW the last few years.
You've now put very well the deep bonds of the triangular love between Hoops ,you and your old man.

Here's an old Ian Dury song for you:

Incredibly moving ... I lost my Dad 18 months ago but I saw him and spoke to him the day before he passed away. I cannot comprehend how it must have felt to not be able to see your dad?
You will though always have the happier memories Bosh! They are so special and nothing can ever take them away...

My Condolences Bosh, You will have those QPR memories with your Dad to cherish throughout your life. being able to share a passion with a parent for such a period of time is not something that everyone gets to experience, I hope it helps to sustain you in times to come.
