If you’re like me Damo, then your Dad will still be with you. In the 32 years since mine died I’ve found he pops up in my head, as I do something he may or may not agree with. So, a virtual Father if you like.
He was a stern man and I know I disappointed him as much as I gained his approval. But as the years sped by, I’ve grown to understand him, and that has been oddly comforting.
