Lovely piece. Did your father understand the extent of the gift he gave you?

I have only come to appreciate what my father did for me through my memories and missing him. I guess that is true of many things in our life.

Reading this reminded me I should keep an eye on your substack. Science fiction is not my first choice, but essays seem to hit home. So glad I opened this one!

Hi Susan :) thanks for reading it. I think he understood given his working hours and time, it was I who understood better only much later on. Thanks for keeping an eye out, I think everyone can relate, it's not for everyone but it always is for someone. Have a very nice week!

Loved this one Edward, enjoy your feast buddy! And may God rest your dad’s soul.

By the way, my oldest daughter (she’s 9 now) but she’s a big fan of fiction, I’ll be picking some of these up for her.
