I can hear and feel how much you value him and his memory. I imagine you would be pleased at how you spent time with him as he got ill?
Something else I wanted to say to you, the other night I was glancing through what we said to eachother on the way to the present bit, and I realised that when you originally got upset with me, I had misquoted your father, I said 'do what you want' and the original qutoe was 'do anything you put your mind to', important difference in quality, I can see now, to you it would have been like down grading what he said!! that was careless of me. ...You never mention your mum at all??!
Do you feel any relief knowing how you cared for your dad whilst he was still alive?
River.
