I feel bad for Liam too, but look on the bright side. Because his father died well not really because of it but this all made him a stronger person and look where it has got him. His father must be really, really proud of his son!

That is so strange. My uncle (which, for my cousin, it was her dad) died at that EXACT same age of a bran tumor just last September... I'll tell you one thing about when a parent dies -- it makes you cry randomly when you think nobody is looking. And you're really hypersensitive if people start talking about how great their own parents are...
