RIP Papa


Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flow'rs are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy, I love you so.
And if you come, and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead as well may be
I pray you'll find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warm and sweeter be
And then you'll kneel and whisper that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

Your father passed away SoV?

My godfather and my da's best friend. Grew up calling him "Papa" since he was like my second father. Absolutely devastated about it. Was home but came back last night since I couldn't stay anymore. They played that song at his funeral, leaving my da and my family, including me just crying streams. I know I owe you an email and I will get back to you once I pick myself up. Sorry about the delay.

Just the greatest man I've known. A much better man than my father. Always there for my family when we needed him, without a second thought. He came home at 4am when my grandfather passed away to comfort my da. Drove my dad to Southampton when my uncle died. Helped me and my sister where-ever we needed it. He would leave his family to help our's, whenever we needed it. Definitely cried more than I have ever in my life, carrying his casket. Sorry to keep rambling on. Still can't believe he's gone, despite being there for his funeral. Massive void in my life now. Again, apologies for going on and on.

Thank you for the sentiments. Gotta pick up the pieces and move on with life.
