Morris our main character is just a normal down to earth man and could not be happier. Having been brought up in a rough and tough working class area, by loving parents, he never wanted or expect much out of life. Just being happy and having a loving Wife, two beautiful young children and to top it off a new job, his dream job. Life could not be sweeter for Morris. However like many things in life, fate was about to strike a powerful blow and immediately a life of peace and happiness was about to change. It's amazing how one telephone call can change your life, but discovering that his best friend and life long companion had fallen ill with cancer, the disease dreaded by everyone, it did. So began The Long Farewell that would last 8 years in total. Morris adored his farther and watching him battle this terrible illness was heartbreaking, however as Morris watched father or Dad as he called him take this one way journey, there were moments that triggered in his mind memories of special times from the past. Some funny, some sad but somehow these memories seemed to ease his aching heart. Over time he began to realise, his happiness in life was down to the seed, sown long ago by his wonderful parents in his up bringing. You don't need money when your a child, you need love, guidance and happy times to look back on. Then the hurt of them passing, turns into memories and it's as if they never left at all. Based around a true story
