I watched the documentary for the first time today and I was consumed by emotions and tears, which are returning as I type this message. John reminded me of my father who suddenly changed from being a strong and prominent figure in our family to being weak and dependent on us after being diagnosed with cancer. I don't usually share my feelings about my dad but your family reminded me of how amazing and precious life is even in the darkest of times, and made me realise how much I really miss him.
I wish that John had more time with his family and to see his boys grow up, but I know that he will live on in your memories and hearts forever.
This candle was first lit on the 5th of April 2017 and will burn for 92 years 10 months and 17 days.
