The greatest Dad I could have ever asked for – Lizzie’s story

My dad was a gentle giant in every sense. He was patient, kind and slow to anger. As father-daughter relationships go, ours couldn’t have been stronger. Yes he was my dad, but he was also one of my best friends. We shared a love for the outdoors, music, sport and always finding ways to make each other laugh. One of the earliest signs something wasn’t right was with Dad’s driving. He always did the long-haul driving when we’d go away, but he began to have trouble with the clutch and the gears. In 2017, we went on a family holiday to Canada. Dad was getting ready to drive us to the Airbnb, and he froze.
