- 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.
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,
'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...
...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?
