For the Rugby League world cup in November 2021. Covid brought about its postponement to 2022 and I was disappointed as I was looking forward to taking my dad to the game. But I figured another year wouldn’t hurt and it would give us something to look forward to.

My dad died suddenly and unexpectedly in September 2021. He wouldn’t have made the original game and he’s not going to make the rescheduled game.

I find that I am suddenly struggling to deal with his loss, his absence. It’s not unexpected I suppose. Here are a couple of video’s that I find give me context without diminishing the impact of his death.

In some ways, I’m glad he went before Rob does. That would have hurt him deeply. It also means Rob has more time with his family and every day matters.

I miss you Dad.
