The great oak of our forest has fallen.* My absolute bloody legend of a Dad, Maurice Millward, died here at home with us, quite out the blue, last Tuesday. He moved in exactly a year ago today, my birthday - such a privilege to have had him tucked in with us for this year, whilst he gradually shed all his worries, and replaced them with jigsaws and pud-pud. And what an honour to have held his hands whilst he let go of the final, ultimate fear"
