My mum and dad split when i was 6 he was there for me but not when significant things happened when i needed my dad but my uncle mick was. Then my dad took his life 3yrs ago and i got married in nov last year and i knew as soon as i started planning my wedding that my uncle mick would walk me down the aisle he had come as my dad to my formal he was a strong male figure in my life (he was proud to do it) i was sad my dad couldnt but was so happy to have someone that loved me do it
