My Dad passed away.

On 22nd August 2009 my Dad had a massive heart attack, he passed away on the 25th August in hospital.
My Dad had gone to the pub on his bike (like he always did) to wait for my Mum to meet him there. He had a pint of 'Fallen Angel' ale in his hand, he knew nothing and he was happy. My Dad was only 55 years old and he's left my Mum, my older brother, myself and my twin brother.
I'm absolutely devastated to say the least. My Dad was my hero, the apple of my eye and one of the best friends i've ever had. My relationship with him was perfect. He made me who I am, introduced me to many of my hobbies and passions and taught me so many lessons in life. Many people here know how much I love my Dad and how he played such a big part in my life. He is responsible for my love of music, cycling, nature and gardening, comedy, film... the list really is endless.
Before my Dad passed he was in an induced coma in an attempt to help him recover, he was able to hear all I had to say to him... I didn't stop talking. I told him how much I loved him, played him his favourite songs and even read him the cricket results in a bid help him regain consciousness. It wasn't to be. I know how lucky I was to be able to say goodbye to my Dad and to find peace. I have also found comfort in my Dad's selfless act of becoming an organ donor. His death has enabled someone else's Dad, brother, Mum or sister to live on and make more memories, even though we can't.
Words can't express how much I love and miss him already. He really was the most incredible, talented, intelligent and kind hearted man i've ever met. I was so lucky to have 25 happy, full and memorable years with him.
The funeral is on Thursday and it will be the hardest day of my life so far... but I will make my Dad proud. Everyday I will make my Dad proud.
Thank you to everyone who has expressed love, thoughts and prayers to myself, Dave and my family. I can't thank you all enough.
It's taken a lot of heartache to write this but please, take care of your parents... They may not be here tomorrow.
