Peter Brown RIP

I want to add my father to the Big Ups – the last few days I have really struggled with trying to deal with the loss of my father.

He died on July 31st 2009, after a very short illness.  It was really unexpected when he was diagnosed on June 12th, but in a way in was good for him that he died quickly as he had a very serious case of the big C.  Kidney was the main problem, had spread to liver and lung by the time it as spotted. Game over.

Such an unnecessary way to go, for a self confessed hypochondriac!

That said, he died without pain I think, despite a 6 weeks of confusion and concern and worry and bad advice and bad GP. (for another time).

He made it home and died the day after – fuck sake!! When I think about it OH MY GOD! It was brutal, clinical, swift.

I want to say Big Up to Peter J Brown.  My father. My hero.
