Paul's Heart

Life As A Dad, And A Survivor

20 May 2021

Remembering My Dad

It was seven years ago today, that my Dad passed away from lung cancer. The loss is still as hard today as it was back then.

I wrote the story “My Dad Was Just Like Me” several years ago (it is on this blog located in the “pages” section), and was blessed to have it performed live as a staged reading.

Please enjoy.
