    That is beautiful tribute to your Dad Sam. There is no words which anyone can say to bring comfort to you and your family right now. I know... For me most important was that my Dad didn't had to suffer anymore. Was at peace... You did everything what you could for him please remember it!!! It was his choice and time to go, on his terms... Deeply sorry for your loss.

    "Hero" (Lyrics)
    Too tired to think
    About me or anybody else
    Breathe out and blink
    This earth could swallow me and I couldn't care less
    Am I ok?
    I'm not really sure
    Then I heard somebody say
    Don't lose hope
    You've got this in the bag
    You know you're getting older
    But live long while you can
    Some turn invisible
    But that's not original
    Might not be invincible
    But you're still a hero
    Wake up and sleep
    A constant cycle that I can't seem to break
    See em and weep
    My days are lonely and no one under understands
    Am I doing ok?
    I'm on my feet and hands
    Then I heard somebody say
    Don't lose hope
    You've got this in the bag
    You know you're getting older
    But live long while you can
    Some turn invisible
    But that's not original
    Might not be invincible
    But you're still my hero
    Don't leave us just yet
    Your time ain't done
    Don't take your last breath
    You are so loved
    Don't lose hope
    You've got this in the bag
    You know you're getting older
    But live long while you can
    Oh no
    Don't lose hope
    You've got this in the bag
    You know you're getting older
    But live long while you can
    Some turn invisible
    But that's not original
    Might not be invincible
    But you're still my hero, dad

He will remain with you in your heart, in your memories, in everything he gave you and that you pass on to others for him: With those we love, we have stopped talking, but it's not silence. Take care of yourself and those who remain.

    My wife and I had my son just 7 months before I lost my dad during the pandemic to CJD. Still think about him all the time. Wish we could’ve spent more time together. Wish I could’ve told him the things I kept buried deep down. I always felt like I’d get around to it. I always wanted to say it perfectly. And I never did it in time. I hope he knew how much I loved him and that I always wanted to make him proud of me. I wish I got to hear that he was proud of me. This tribute to your dad makes me feel so happy that your dad got to hear that he’s your hero. I hope everyone listening to this song reminds themself to tell their loved ones what they mean to them. Because the thing that’s much worse than that discomfort or pain is regret.

    Finally... An artist who sings about real, important mental health topics. If you are struggling... There is real help out there. And mental health is not a moral deficit. It is a health condition and there is real treatment for it. I have been working in mental health for over a decade and first hand seen hundreds of people get better. Don't give up hope. Make the call... Keep reaching out... Someone out there is waiting for you and ready to help you.

    That was so emotive - I've been at breaking point / suicidal many times, and my Dad committed suicide when I was 11 and his leaving me that way affected me for many, many years in both obvious and more subtle ways.
    I hope your song can reach someone/or some people who are contemplating making a permanent decision on a temporary feeling and get them to pause long enough that they can pull themselves back from that fine line crossing to eternity

      @@sharonewers3813 you're more than welcome to share your testimony but I am in a far better place now having healed my past traumas by finding the Light within me and connecting to Source (I'm spiritual rather than religious as i feel so many religions are heavily man-made and re-written for control and power which is not in my view the loving energy any God would wish for). In fact I'm writing a programme now to shine my Light to help others still struggling in the Darkness
