Very moving tribute! How much you love your father! I did too; I still mourn him, fifty years after his death from cancer. We both have something in common: we are the children of admirable men. Superb choice of poem, perfect choice of images. Thanks!
Hi all: Several years ago Burton recorded Fern Hill and a discussion about the meaning of some of the passages in the poem. If anyone has a copy of that discussion would you please play it on youTube. Thanks.
It sounds like Lou Gehrig's Disease. Really a class of diseases for which there is no cure. He looks happy enough before he died. The best we can hope for is a relatively happy death. God bless.
Its a degenerative muscle wasting disease that eventually leads to complete loss of motor functions including speech. Mentally, the sufferer is unaffected. Fortunately for my Dad, he died before he had lost his speech and whilst he still had a limited amount of mobility. The disease has no known cure and its cause is still unknown. The sufferer usually dies within 1 -5 years from being diagnosed although Steven Hawkins, an MND sufferer, has famously survived for many years.
Is the vid from 41 years in 60 seconds your father?
