A dad diagnosed with terminal cancer sat down to write birthday cards for his then 17-month-old twin girls, for the next 30 years. Nick Keenan penned the cards for Rose and Sophia as he was dying of a brain tumour.
Nick was diagnosed with a tennis ball-size astrocytoma in 2015 after weeks of suffering with shooting pins and needles down his right arm. He underwent two debulking surgeries, radiotherapy, infusion and oral chemotherapy, prescription cannabinoids and a number of natural remedies.
Nick died aged 34 in November 2020, nine months after being told his tumour had developed into a glioblastoma (GBM). The girls recently open their fourth birthday card from him - where he told them they'd start school soon and to look after each other.
