I understand this completely. Lost my dad when he was just 52 due to alcoholic liver disease. My mum is in very poor health now too. Didn't have the childhood my friends had, my boys haven't had the grandparents they deserve. Its shit.

To love unconditionally. Whether we were right or wrong my parents always had my siblings and my back.

And my Dad always said people who swear every other word have nothing interesting to say. That's always stuck with me.

They're a pain in the ass, especially if you're just popping round to look at work.

Only use for them is when the bottom of my trainers are cleaner than the house I'm working in...
