On 30th August 2017 my dad was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour. From that day my dads life changed forever! This tumour took away his independence, he had to surrender his driving licence, couldn’t ride his bike and had to have someone with him at all times. It took away part of his character, dad was always a gentle happy cheeky Charlie that loved life. He fought so hard and was so determined to live the little time he had left to its fullest. Through the operation, the chemo and radiation he always smiled. In June 2018 he was given 4hrs to live 10 days later he was home and the following day walking and talking, his determination was inspiring even getting a scooter to give him one thing of him back... but on 9th November 2018 just 15 days before his 70th birthday he took his last breath.
