Instead of choosing 1 story to tell about my father, I decided to choose 100. Because my dad wore many hats throughout his life, he donned many coats, he fought with many swords, & he rang many bells
What a brilliant way to memorialise your dad. I feel as if I knew him by the end of that. He was only a few months younger than me and had packed so much into his life, you must be very proud. Thanks for sharing your memories with us, Johnny. So precious.
Can I just give you an enormous hug sometime? You’re always so wonderful, so supportive and I totally appreciate it on a human level. Your positivity drives me forward 🙏
Dear Johnny my good friend. What a touching piece!
I love the photo at the end of you next to your father. A father-son bond is a very special one. And we can see the love and admiration you have for each other in your eyes and smiles. Very heart-warming, I must say.
The cover photo you chose shows the unmistakable resemblance between you two, naughtiness, grandeur, and all.
When my father passed, I also had to write the eulogy, in French mind you which was a challenge for me given the sophistication of the language. Infused humour and stirring anecdotes are always a must.
Let the strength of the father-son bond live on with you and your own son, regardless of distances or challenges or whatever fate perniciously throws in your way.
God bless you my friend, and may your father rest in peace knowing he left remarkable offspring behind to fulfill his legacy.
God bless and Godspeed you to your next great undertaking, dear Mr. Graham Vedmore! No doubt you know you are survived by a fine and beautiful son who carries on in your name. Love to you, Johnny, if I may so address you on this special occasion. A fine eulogy.
What a beautiful man, Johnny. A celebration of a life well-lived. As my brother said at our darling dad’s memorial (who’s pictured in my avatar here!) loosing him was one day of goodbye in a lifetime of hellos. It sounds as if your daddy, too, had a lifetime of hellos. Sending you healing wishes.
A very moving tribute to man I never knew, but it sounds like he deserved every heartfelt word. Wherever his soul may be I'm sure he's at peace. God bless you and your family at this time
Thank you, mine passed last year, may your dad rest in eternal peace and may all the memories of him help you stay centered and strong for you to pass on what you wre gifted by him, kind regards, Grüß Gott.

I cyber hug you from the Jurassic Coast of Dorset, Johnny. The aged dust of this rugged land awaits your footfall, son of the Western shores! xx
very powerful, thank you for sharing!
Thanks! It was cathartic for sure. I cried through the entire eulogy to be honest.
yes. "been there, done that" (my father, 2019). I could not not have done it though. be well.
