My Dad is dying. I visited him, probably for the last time in his care home. He is 89 and has Alzheimer’s. It’s a relief, but also very sad. I shed a tear. The last time I visited him a week ago, he didn’t know who I was for the first time.

He had a great life, he built a public company, got an OBE from the queen and advised several prime ministers.

I haven’t posted this on other social platforms yet, not sure why. I think I feel freer to be myself here.

His name is Clifford Hardcastle OBE

This is him from a couple of years ago.

I lost my father last year,just one week before my birthday and 1 month before going to Canada. There’s nothing I can say to help you to relief your pain. Losing a parent is like losing a part of you. It’s a hole that can’t be filled. I believe there’s a reason for everything and a right time for everything. So just trust that things happen the way they do for a reason.

Time will help you. Time is the best medicine for pain.

Take good care of yourself and show your father some love while he’s still alive,even though he doesn’t know who you are anymore.
