Since Q was first admitted to hospital on the 27 June 2010 he demonstrated courage and pragmatism that should be an inspiration to us all. Once he was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma and given the terrifyingly short prognosis his number one concern was Theo and I. His commitment to create a beautiful family home for us was remarkable and selfless bearing in mind the disruption and upheaval we suffered as a result. His strength and determination to lead as normal a life as possible despite the high dose of chemo that made him so tired was phenomenal. His humour didn't wain even when the steroids changed him physically and the tumour made even the simplest of tasks difficult for him. When I cried, which I did regularly, he would comfort and love me. To Theo he was a devoted and loving father who led by example and spent time teaching T the importance of good manners. Theo and I are missing you so very much and hope you are somewhere keeping an eye on us and protecting us from afar.
