Daddy once said in a partners' meeting at work (when the others were complaining that they didn't earn enough money) that he had all the riches he needed - rich in the love of his wife and his three beautiful children. At home, Daddy would tell me that all he wanted in life was to live long enough to see our children grow up. He used to say it with such fear, as if he really believed that he might not. I miss him, but my biggest sadness comes from you and Dan having to grow up without him and also because he has missed out on the many great joys of being a parent. His absence on Thursday when you get your results will be one of those occasions. And I can make the usual platitudes and tell you that Daddy would be proud of you but I know that it's no comfort. I guess that's one advantage Daddy had by dying when you were still young - at that age, a parent can make the world right again and so he never let you down or found himself unable to make it better. There's a lot to be said for that and for that and that alone, I sometimes envy him!Mum xxxxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369953110334154120noreply@blogger.com
