Hello Dee,

It is always those left behind who suffer, although time does ease the pain of loss. It is different for everyone.  Some never get over the loss while others learn the peace of a life well spent and move on, never forgetting.

My Father died when I was pregnant with my first child, and my children were the only grandchildren he was not around to meet.  It broke my heart at the time, but now I know he was always with us.

This is very moving.

Hi Dee, What a wonderful tribute to your Dad. It is so good to hear of a good dad, when so many don't have such great memories. I hope and pray your sister is doing better. God bless, Dave

Hi

Thanks to the invite Dee!
I'm sorry but I'm running late here. I enjoyed the beautiful poem your sister wrote to your dad. She's very talented, thank you for sharing!

Enjoy the day
Warm Regards

Hi Jen,

Thank you for the words of comfort. I count myself lucky that we had dad with us for so long as you can see in the photo he was getting on in years. He was 89 when he died and had a healthy life for most of that.

Take care because I care

Hi Dave,

Yes Dad was the best. He always had stories of his life to shear. He was one of the first Commandos in the second world war and served beside David Niven the actor.

Even Met Winston Churchill at Waterloo station just before the D-Day landings, At the time he did not recognize him, and came out with some choice words of complaint that they were all there at the ungodly hour in the morning and what he wouldn't say to the Person that put them there. !! LOL

In later life he was an Bus Driver, Coach Driver, and an Ambulance driver / Foreman for the local welfare services, Driving The disabled and aged to their day centers etc. and in charge of the other drivers 60  in all including Meals on wheels

for the local community.


Take Care because I care
