I wake up feeling optimistic about life, only to sink back into melancholy. 'Ha Ha, ever get the feeling your being cheated'. That's how I feel about UKGOV.

A Great Man, and the Best Dad Ever
Rest in peace, my beloved Dad.
If I had to describe you in just a few words, they would be these: radiant, positive, optimistic. You were a respectful, determined, courageous man. Loving, wise, protective. Thoughtful, punctual, always present. Always smiling, with a rare gentleness. An exceptional father, profoundly caring. You loved to surprise and delight, and your motto — “Go ahead” — still echoes within us: let’s move forward, let’s keep going, let’s never give up. You lived with your heart turned toward others and toward the future.
You left far too soon, after a tough battle that you faced without ever complaining. Until the very end, you showed us that dignity can survive pain, that hope can still shine even on the heaviest days. You taught us to keep fighting, even when everything seems lost. You walked toward the unknown without fear, with that quiet strength that defined you. You left us saying, “I love you,” but above all, “Love each other.” And those words will stay with us forever.
Your brilliant career as an engineer, filled with long journeys in Africa and Eastern Europe, was never more important than what truly mattered: your family, your children, your friends. You sacrificed so much to offer us stability, safety, and love. We are your legacy, your greatest achievement.
You saved lives, supported so many relatives and friends, and stood by countless people. You had unwavering faith in traditional medicine, and you endured two long years of heavy treatments and painful surgeries with admirable strength.
The last days by your side are forever etched in my heart. We reread together the postcards you wrote to me when I was a child. We walked, as much as your body allowed—sometimes only a few steps—moments so simple that they have become treasures. I held your hand for a long time. I cried in your arms like a little boy, and you cried with me. I will never forget all that you gave me.
You are not alone, Dad. You’re reunited with Marraine, Bon Papa, your brother Michel, your friend Guy, and all those who went before you. That thought brings warmth to my heart.
When I learned you were gone, it felt as if the protective hand you always kept on my shoulder had suddenly disappeared. But day after day, I find you again in different ways: in a memory, in an unexpected smile, in a subtle sign. You are here. Differently. But you are here.
Thank you, Dad. Thank you for life, for love, for your openness, for your guidance. I am the man I am today largely because of you. This is not a farewell. It is a see-you-later. We will meet again.
You were — and you remain — my guide, today and for everything that lies ahead.
