His feuneral was held that following Friday and was attended by family, friends and loved ones.

Although increadbly sad for all who knew and loved him, this had been in the cards for some 13 months.

Finally he is at peace!

On a brighter front, little Joshua Morton is doing really well. Now 3 months old, I find it amazing how time has flown since his birth.

Both Tomoko and I love him so much. We are delighted to see him grow and develop every day.

His Aussie grandma loves visiting him every week.

We can all see a little bit of dad in Josh, and in a way, he is doing his part to relieve the pain of loosing dad. Sometimes in life, when one door closes, another door opens.

We are just all delighted that dad was able to meet his first grandchild prior to his passing.

We will miss you dad and will always love you!

Here is a photo of Dad when he was only 18 Years Of Age.

The Dr’s have only given his 3 months to live without treatment, and upto 6 months with treatment.

The treatment is an oral “kemo” treatment together with radio theropy to his brain.

None of the family are taking this well. It’s really hard to believe, especially since only a month ago, dad seemed fine.

The cancer is a rather fast acting cancer. Unfortunately it was impossible to remove all the cancerous tissue, and so it is extremely likely that the treatment will only prolong the inevitable.

We as a family ave decided to try the treatment in the hope it works better than expected. I don’t think any of us expect miracles, however, we do need to live in hope.
