That night Ida presented us with a telegram. ‘My father is dying,’ she said. I have to god home.’ (p32) I did not need to be asked twice. I had been looking for a way to leave this horrid place for years now. Then I received a telegram with news of my father back in England. I made an immediate decision to go back to see him before he passes on.

I finally got to dad and gee did he look bad, he looked like he was struggling to stay alive and that he was just waiting for me to come to see him before he would go.
I was in shock to see my dad like that cause when “I saw him last he was a fit man” that used to play a lot of sport and be very active. But looking at him now he looks totally different. And it make me upset to look at him like that, and I just had to leave the room and bring it to realisation what is actually happening here and what could happen over the next few days…. Days later after I spent nearly a week with my dad. I got the news as I entered the hospital on Friday the 1 of April at 7:30 in the morning. The nurse came up to me as soon as I entered and told me that my dad had passed away over night and before he died he wanted me to know that he loved me and that he was very happy and thankful that I came all the way from Broome to be with him before he
