Mum's the Word: A tribute to my daughter's incredible father

Last year around Father’s Day, I wrote my column all about how amazing my father was and how deeply he inspired me to be the best person I could be, how years after hepassed away, when I was just 14, people would tell me stories of how he helped them and changed their lives.

Stories of how when people were really in bad financial situations he stepped up, how he had time for everyone, and how much everyone missed him when he died at the young age of 49. It seemed that if it were possible, all the traits people most admire in others my father possessed.
