My Dad (Brian Nicholson) 1951-2003


Well not too sure how to start this post.It's 5 years today since my Dad died. It's hard to explain but this anniversary has been harder than all the others. This photo is of me and my dad, it's not the best because we had both been crying, and I'd put on weight comfort eating. He really was the best, he could fix anything, he was always there for me. Seeing him disappear before my eyes was one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. He was 52 when he died of cancer (Mesothemolia) when he was 17 he had worked in the Ship yards lagging pipes with asbestosis, and this is what caused the cancer. Love you dad xxxxx
