My Tribute to Dad, from yesterday's Funeral Service.

I think I speak for more than just myself when I say that, at first, none of us wants to turn into our parents. We spend so much time and effort trying to be different, but all of it is futile in the end. It is in our DNA to be like our parents - we could no more get away from that than our own shadows

This is beautiful, Matt.

You are so brave

Bittersweet and honest. I am deeply touched.

I told you that I'd cry and I did - that was so heartfelt and sums up how many of us must surely feel about our parents. Well done for being able to write it so eloquently.

Beautiful, moving and ultimately uplifting. A great piece of writing under horrible circumstances. I cried too...
