April demanded to see her dad in the hospital before his surgery.

Walking in, she went to her dad and told him: “I don’t know what to say but you would, you always do. 

“I love you isn’t enough. That’s what I say when you drop me off at school, or when you used to read me a bedside story. 

“Not when it might be… I never got to tell mum how much she meant to me, now I can’t even tell you. I’m so sorry dad.”

Later April lashed out at Mary for saying “tomorrow’s another day” and revealed why it was so upsetting to her.

“It’s my dad’s birthday and you keep saying tomorrow’s another day,” she said.
