we are linked to our mothers in more ways than one.
One scientist believes there is an invisible chord that is never separated.
Sad your dad died at that age.
Oddly I was just thinking that I regret not seeing my father enough times up to his death at 77. He was such a mild, gentle and loyal father and I've always remembered how he had to pull a 6 inch nail from my foot when I was 8 as the ambulance men did not want the responsibility. Wonder why we didn't go to Emergency?.
I saw my father the night before he died and he had some weird virus where he would be incoherent at times. But he was OK and I said "don;t worry you'll be home soon" but he said " I don;t want to go home, I'm just too tired of everything".
Then he giggled and pointed to the top of cupboard in the Ward and described a fabulous little marching band of mice in uniforms who were dancing and playing instrument.
