Exactly four years ago I found my dad in the church across the road while I was out buying vegetables. When Covid forced us back to Australia I was devastated but dad would always tell me that I was there for a reason and to simply “trust, have faith and to believe”. His mantra always. Not religious at all just a strong sense of belief. The following year we got his pancreatic cancer diagnosis. This was our 2021. After two weeks in hospital to work out the problem, major major surgery bigger than open heart surgery, ICU, two more weeks in hospital, two weeks in rehabilitation and all while going through a pandemic, he found solace here. This was a month before he nailed 6 months of chemo. Today he is the walking miracle and was told by his surgeon he doesn’t need to see him again!!!
