Love story: My dad is Blues legend Steve Mortimer. I'm grieving him in real time

It was a big deal, one of the ones that had the toy inside.Some of my other core memories with Dad are of driving up to the country to visit extended family.People wouldn't think a footballer like him would like classical music, but he used to play so much classical music on those drives, as well as Coldplay and Van Morrison.Driving through the Blue Mountains in autumn, he would always admire the colours of the trees.I carry that with my two little girls He wears his heart on his sleeve.He was always there for other people.When Mum would come home late from the theatre, he would have long and truly gone to bed.But he'd have a glass of wine poured and chilling in the fridge, with cheese and bickies with cling film over it for her to snack on when she got in.When I was still at home and doing shows, he would do the same for me.He tried his best to take the hassle out of things for anyone
