Mine died, aged 50, when I was only 22 and as he favoured my younger sister, I never really had much to do with him. When I got into my 50's and 60's it would of been fantastic to have had him to chat too about his youth and time in the army but it wasn't to be.Derek Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140363868104172311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-87702180775880077342016-08-03T06:41:50.197+01:002016-08-03T06:41:50.197+01:00Thanks for this Neil.

He always encouraged and supported me in whatever I did, yet was quick to urge caution should I stray from the path. You never know what you've got until you lose it - never more true than now! Take care - DylDylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-59570011825266619462016-08-02T23:37:51.497+01:002016-08-02T23:37:51.497+01:00I lost my dad 18 months ago and that was a traumat...I lost my dad 18 months ago and that was a traumatic period to go through. Seeing someone you love go through so much is tough but I too had that sense of relief at the end. The grieving came soon after as I remembered him as he once was but I felt pride too because as a parent he supported me unconditionally with whatever it was I wanted to do in my life. It sounds like your dad was exactly the same. Top man. Wishing you all the very best Dylan.

To have witnessed this level of suffering, in the name of humanity and God, is something which has pushed my own beliefs to new limits. My fathers' passing was a blessing, I felt relief more than sadness when he finally left us. <br />I am proud to state that my parents supported my right to live as an individual, a non-conformist, within a framework of civilised social rules where right and wrong were still paramount for a decent member of the community. I owe them so much - my long hair is testament to their teachings - DylDylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-13818410521141498922016-08-02T19:12:16.237+01:002016-08-02T19:12:16.237+01:00I have identical thoughts on the subject Dyl.
