'Don't forget to say I love you' - Bonnie Ryan remembers final phone call with dad Gerry on 15th anniversary
Briefly

The beauty influencer honored her father on the 15th anniversary of his passing by reflecting on their last phone call. She recounted the conversation where a disagreement ensued, and she left without saying goodbye or expressing love. The sudden death of her father, broadcaster Gerry Ryan, profoundly impacted her life. In her heartfelt tribute, she urged her followers to cherish their loved ones, emphasizing the fragility of life and the importance of expressing love regularly, as we never know what lies ahead.
This day, 15 years ago, was the last time I ever spoke to my dad. It was on the phone, and he was annoyed at me because I've gotten two parking tickets in one week, so kind of fair enough. Anyway, I was then annoyed at him because he was annoyed at me, and I remember handing the phone away to my sister, going: 'Oh, take it. He's getting angry at me'. And I didn't say to him 'goodbye', and I didn't say to him that I loved him. Little did I know, the very next day, I would find out that my dad had passed away and my whole world was going to be rocked forevermore.
And this is your reminder - don't forget to say 'I love you'. Don't forget that life is so fragile and you just don't know what's coming around the corner. If you have your parents, give them an extra squeeze, or whoever it is that you love in your life, because you just don't know what could happen.
