R.I.P GARY

We were woken at 4am this morning by a telephone call from Tracy's mum to tell us that gill's (tracys sister) ex boyfriend and the father of her 2 kids had lost his long fight against cancer. Even though gill had split from gary a few years ago and is now married to someone else they had always stayed pretty close having the children as a common factor, Gill had been doing a lot for gary lately as he was really suffering and apparently she has taken the news really badly, The hard work is going to start now trying to bring the kids to terms with the fact that they no longer have a dad, he was only about a year or two older than me.....makes you think doesnt it.
