- Right, Pipsy.

- Yeah?

I feel like my dad was just...

He wasn't real,

he was just someone I made up.

- Pipsy, hello.

- Hello.

I don't actually have any memories of him.

I've just heard stories.

And I have made memories,

that I wasn't actually there.

Let's see.

I am trying to work out these chords

to play on the piano

so I can do my dad's song.

This song is called "A Perfect World."

And it's beautiful.

I think it's because...

my dad had an idea

of what a perfect world would be.

And I think that at one point

he had that with my mum.

The song's about my mum.

It restores my faith in love

and happiness.

It's really nice.

Fall in love with you

Like the beauty in a bird song

A song for you

In a perfect world

The story is told

That a boy meets a girl

Here we go. There's the chickens.

What a joy.

They're an absolute joy, they are.

The birds are in full song as usual.

What exciting times,

creating a beautiful garden...

giving the children a safe environment.

Kacie, are you excited

about your first day of school?

Good. I hope you have a lovely day.

God, not only are they coping,

they've videoed the whole bloody thing.

Oh, look at that! Aw.

I remember when we were younger,

we used to put on shows and stuff

for Mum and Dad.

We used to put up posters,

"Show tonight at 5:00."

- Hello and welcome to today's show.

- Aw.

Dad used to go around the table

and say what he thought

everyone would be doing

when we've grown up.

He always said I was good with a rhythm.

Did Dad want Osborn

to be an astronaut?

Daddy, wave at the camera

and say, "Yes."

Yes.

I'd like to thank my dad

with all my heart.

And the work that he's done.

I mean, look.

Right now,

I'm walking on the most brilliant mud.

My dad is the best dad

in the whole wold.

Tell you what,

most kids don't have a dad like mine.

I'm so lucky.

When Mum told us,

you don't know how to take it.

You just scream.

The way that the death happened

wasn't an accident.

It was, like, his choice.

It might've been a cry for help,

which makes me really sad.

'Cause I can just imagine him,

being sat down there...

I've constantly gone through

the what-ifs that day.

What if I could have run into the woods,

maybe tried to find him?

There was a banging at the door.

It was the police.

They said, "We just had a call

from your husband

saying he was going to kill himself."

- I saw helicopters going around...

- Police vehicles arriving...

...ambulances...

I remember

the helicopter flying off.

He cut his left wrist

and his throat.

I was 16. Pippa was six years old.

We've all got

such different memories.

What can we know,

that day how Dad killed himself?
