SOUTH AFRICA
The son of South African rugby legend Joost van der Westhuizen has penned an emotional tribute letter to his father days after he passed away.

The former Springbok, who helped his country win a historic World Cup in 1995, died last Monday aged 45 after a six-year battle with motor neurone disease.

Under the heading 'Tribute from Jordan van der Westhuizen', the youngster thanked his father for being 'the best he could be', while asking for some divine intervention before Liverpool's Premier League game against Tottenham at Anfield on Saturday evening, which the Reds went on to win 2-0.

That letter puts everything into perspective. We are not half grateful enough for what we have at times.

Life is beautiful when you find Love

Brought a tear to my eye that. No lad (or girl) should have to grow up without his dad.
