I am totally deferent to my daughter she assumed the role of head of the house at age fifteen. I fell in a heap when wife took of with our wealth for greener pastures. She recently had her fortieth , happily married with children.<br /> Studying in later life because of lost youth she is now a nurse. In her spare time she handles all the paper work, tax's ect for my company. She runs her own company, small but national. Has a fleet of miniature horses that she breeds and trains. My daughter is miracle,she is my hero. The photo of you with your dad, smoke in one hand, drink in the other, with the magnificent red tresses, is a pearler.wayne Job Broadford Victorianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-58536061074686994572010-04-22T07:03:02.885+10:002010-04-22T07:03:02.885+10:00That was well said kae.

He had an operation on his eyes when he enlisted and couldn't see well enough to write, so my mother wrote some letters on his behalf to his unit which ended up on file. They make amazing reading because of the level of formality used back then (1943) and my mother's beautiful copperplate handwriting.1735099https://www.blogger.com/profile/17945140949290600423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-50449072867369282272010-04-21T18:01:05.515+10:002010-04-21T18:01:05.515+10:00Thanks 17

The letter from Dad to his Mum and Dad are interesting... they were written in about 1954 or 5, Mum and Dad married in 1956, and would have met in about 1951, I know that because Mum met him when she was 16 I think and "set her hat" for him.<br />I'll get my a into g, when I catch up with the housework and yardwork, and see what I can glean.<br /><br />I could write a book to rival O's, "My Father's Letters".kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819693069445947851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-83844916023381399472010-04-21T17:54:24.508+10:002010-04-21T17:54:24.508+10:00Father/daughter relationships are often difficult....Father/daughter relationships are often difficult. I have two so I know from experience.<br />Sounds like your connection with your dad was strong. I reckon you should write about it. Whether you share it or not doesn't matter, but you write well, so people would probably enjoy reading your story.1735099https://www.blogger.com/profile/17945140949290600423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-43975664518890347642010-04-21T17:38:05.776+10:002010-04-21T17:38:05.776+10:00Thanks, Priarie Cat.

My Dad loved me very much, I was the first born and we bonded. I have no doubt that my Dad loved me.<br />I just hope that the times I told him I love him, particularly in the few weeks before he died - he asked me why I was there, I said that I was there to tell him I loved him, and that there was no point saying it after he'd died. I have no doubt at all that he loved me, I just hope he knew that despite all, I loved him very much.kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819693069445947851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-7949445217239025312010-04-21T17:30:38.331+10:002010-04-21T17:30:38.331+10:00Dads, if only we had got to know them better.....Dads, if only we had got to know them better.....cavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05338928424789193611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-67513522528709921112010-04-21T05:21:04.253+10:002010-04-21T05:21:04.253+10:00With you today in spirit, m'Friend.With you today in spirit, m'Friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-21150804950775272862008-11-01T19:20:00.000+10:002008-11-01T19:20:00.000+10:00I don't know; I'm pretty sure your hair is longer,...I don't know; I'm pretty sure your hair is longer, and rather less beard ...<BR/><BR/>CheersMinicapthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13421626155178200181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-29892938705608185612008-11-01T10:46:00.000+10:002008-11-01T10:46:00.000+10:00Yes, I do look like him.
