Dying dad wrote birthday cards for his twin girls - for the next 30 years

A sick father wrote 30 years' worth of birthday cards for his baby twin daughters as he lay on his deathbed.

When Nick Keenan was told his glioblastoma (GBM), a fast-growing and aggressive brain tumour, would kill him, he penned cards for Rose and Sophia, who were just 17 months old. He wanted his girls to have a birthday message from him every year.
