Less than 24 hours after learning her dad had suffered a stroke Lizzie Palin sat down to do her English language GCSE exam. Tragically he died three days later.
"When I was doing my exams, I wasn't thinking about anything apart from my dad and how I have to rush off to the hospital as soon as I finish," she said. "I feel like all of the years I spent in primary and secondary school just got flushed down the toilet over an already extremely upsetting stage in my life."
"We received a phone call in the middle of the night basically saying we're not sure how long your dad's got left..." explained Lizzie. "I didn't sleep because I was just too upset." "I cried through my English paper," she said. "Obviously none of my school friends knew what was going on at this point.
"They were doing everything they could to make my dad comfortable and to try keep him alive," she said. "But on the Tuesday , my dad's health deteriorated and then on the Wednesday he passed."
