She stood next to us in the car waiting for me to leave. Quiet. Just listening. So anyway, eventually we leave. And we're in the car. She's driving me home. And I'm kind of half drunk. And I look at her. And I can see tears running down her face. And I'm like, I said, Kay, look, I'm sorry I kept you three hours longer. And she just looked at me and says, no, Dad.
i don't know you i've just realized i don't know you me and my sisters and bro we don't know you i went what do you mean and she said um for three hours i've just heard stories about my dad that none of us know anything about says i really feel and he i sobered up immediately and i thought wow

Because of the life I had in the military, my life when I joined the SAS was constant war fighting for the whole time, all over the globe. I wasn't home a lot. And the time I was home, I didn't spend enough time with my kids and my family, which I wish if I could turn back time, I would. I'd change it. That's exactly what I would do. I could never really get that.

But when she said those words to me, it sobered me up immediately. And I thought, wow, that led to me writing my memoirs down and actually writing a book. Because I've been asked many times, write a book. I don't want to write a book. But I wrote my book, which I've given you, my autobiography. I've cut out a lot of the military stuff. It's about who I was and where I was.

And it's everything, water and oil, you know, being a bad kid, being an asshole, failing. But that was the reason I did it that very night. You know, I went home, I sobered up in her car, thinking about what she'd said to me. And she was right. The kids knew nothing about my life. And again, it led me to, we always say, let's do it tomorrow. And this is my lesson to people.

Never say, let's do it tomorrow. Do it. If you're going to do something, fucking do it. I used to say to my father, my dad, when I joined the SAS, he made out he didn't know I was in the SAS. He made out he didn't know anything about what I was doing. Well, actually he didn't because we didn't tell him.

I always said to him, when I got decorated by the queen and he turned up and he's listening to why I'm getting this medal from the queen and my dad's looking at my mom going, he did what? And mom's going, I don't know. He's never told me. So he's listening to these stories. And I said, dad, I'll tell you. I'll come and have a beer with you. And I'll tell you. I'll come down next week.

Of course, next week comes by. I didn't go down. I didn't do it. So on and so forth. And I never got around to doing it. Long story short, I get a phone call, middle of the night. At the time, my mom had cancer. So I was expecting her to die anyway. But my dad had died. So it was a complete shock to me. Whoa, whoa. My dad's died? And then three weeks later, my mom died.
