My father lost his life to cancer (adenoid carcinoma ) two and a half years ago.

It was exactly 12 months and two days after his diagnosis that he passed away.

About five months into his treatment, that was never going to fix it, he said to myself and a nurse, when he had to decide on more treatment, "if I were a dog, you would put me to sleep, I wish I were a dog".

I wish that he had the choice to go when he wanted to.

White night is a city thing not a Bendigo thing!!

Love is love, although he's entitled to his opinion. If he wouldn't want to marry my partner and I that’s fine, there are plenty that would. I do wonder though if he had a homosexual son or daughter and they asked him to wed them, what would he do then?

I must be old fashion, but I agree with him. Live together and call him your partner in life. That's what I introduce Kevin as.

Who cares who marries who, if it makes people happy then so be it.

This world is sliding down a very dark road and we all need to find happiness wherever we can.

People need to live and let live.

Jane was such a genuine, lovely, down to earth person. Such a loss.

Jane was a lovely lady taken far too soon.
