A Wish 13:34 - Dec 4 with 2956 viewsChurchman

Early this morning, keen supporter, follower, former season ticket holder passed away. My dad. He’d followed our wonderful club since the late 1930s and witnessed many of its greatest moments, including the 62 Champions, 1978 and 2000 at Wembley.

He was too unwell to really understand the rebirth of our wonderful club but I know he’d be just as enthused as myself and most of you if he could.

My wish is that you all cherish your loved ones while you can, the moment and the now. I was lucky enough to know and share so much with my father for so long, but the great cycle of life means these things are finite.

Finally, we’ve had a lot of dealings with the Health Service, St Elizabeth Hospice, Doctors, Nurses, carers, volunteers and helpers, Marie Curie, ambulance you name it in the last few weeks. They have all been truly amazing and it’s been humbling to see what they do in the most difficult of circumstances.

For those of you that work in that world, I cannot thank you enough.

Firstly, My Sympathy for your loss. No matter how prepared, it's still a shock. I wish you and yours well.
Secondly, Fantastic post. Every word is true.
Finally, Again, My thoughts are with you and all that knew your Dad.

Take care and a stiff drink or two is definitely allowed.

Sorry for your loss Churchman.

You are so right about cherishing all of your loved ones. It's very painful to lose a parent and the immediate memories may bring you tears. But as time moves on those tears will turn into smiles everytime you think of him.

Sorry to read this Churchman, lost my Father 8 years ago now and to this day when I go to my Mums house I try not to look at his pictures around the house, how ridiculous is that, but it's just my way.....he was also a massive Town fan who took me everywhere as a kid, so I saw us lift the cup in '78, UEFA 81, and right through Robson era, ST in Cobbold every year through that period..

He would often say "you've seen the best years, you'll never see anything even close to that again"...well, I just wished he was here to see the football were playing right now, I know he'd be loving it..

RIP to your Father....
