Well put Lou. If you're anything like me you'll keep a virtual Dad in your head for the rest of your life, doling out advice, tutting where necessary, but there'll always be moments that you wish he'd seen or heard. Let's hope Villa provide some of those moments.

My sincere condolences. Lovely piece. I lost my dad many years ago, but as the years have passed I've come to appreciate him more and more and as Rocket Reducer has already said, he'll be with you forever.

Some of the fantastic comments on here when my Dad died bought me to tears, it's a lovely little community we have here.

Condolences Louzie.  It's a horrible time but it will get better.  It sounds trite but time really is a great healer.

Our dad died 15 years ago.  We had one of the paviours in his memory outside the Trinity Road Stand and TC & I go and have a chat with him before every home match - even though we know he's not really there!
