“Barney and I were really close,” Moorhouse told BBC Radio Manchester. “We told each other every day we loved each other, and we worked together as well.<\/p>\n
“He went too soon and I just miss him – I miss him like you wouldn’t believe. <\/p>\n
“The night he died, I had this moment… an awakening or whatever you want to call it. <\/p>\n
“And it was this sense of calmness where I had this space to make a choice – and I feel so lucky that I had this choice to make.<\/p>\n
“And my choice was either go one way or the other. I either cloak myself in grief, and that defines how I deal with the loss of Barney – or I face forward, I open my heart, and I become the sort of person that looks for joy.”<\/p>\n
Since Barney’s death, Moorhouse said he has heard numerous stories from his son’s customers, and his colleagues, about his son’s connection with them and his kindness.<\/p>\n
Moorhouse said the outpouring of love for his son had inspired him to re-open the venture they had started together – and “go forward in the way Barney would’ve hoped.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Barney and I were really close,” Moorhouse told BBC Radio Manchester. “We told each other every day we…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":462434,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-462433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=462433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/462434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=462433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=462433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=462433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
