Brilliant listen, have to commend John Paul for his strength and poise. Your two little ones will go far in life with a father like you. So sorry for Susan she sounded like a real light and warrior till the end. I'm going through something like yourself with a family member of my own. Thank you for sharing your story, from a fellow Cork man ❤️🙏🏻
