My father died in '97. But at least he lived until 93, so he saw my success.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have an uncle who lived to 101, and my father died at 95, so I have a second career ahead of me.
My father died when I was five, but I grew up in a strong family.
My father passed away a couple of years ago, but he was very old. He was almost a 100 years old. And, you know, he had a very good life. He came to America and he had a good life.
My grandmother passed at 104. She sang and wrote songs until she passed.
My dad lived till he was 78, my mum was in her 80s, and I've got two uncles who are in their 90s now.
Seventy years old! How did that happen? I was part of the generation that wasn't going to die.
My dad died when he was 60. I was only 17 and I think, psychologically, that had a huge impact on me, probably more than I realised.
My dad died when I was 23. His death was sudden and shocking - the result of a car crash - and I never got to say goodbye.
Sadly, my father died before I graduated, so he didn't see any of the success at all.
My father died prematurely at the age of 52 when I was 24, and it is a recurring regret that he never lived to see me succeed beyond university and drama.
