The words above are song lyrics from a group called ' Mike & the Mechanics' [former members of the group 'Genesis']..but because of his past.....

i wish they were my words but thery are not...........sighhhhh

but they do represent a lot of my feelings...........

my father and i had a strained relationship.....not because of me, but because of his past.....[WW11 Morturer medical corps he dealt with removing the dead]].......

Obviously his traumatic times made him slightly harder to get on with [though i tried so very much]

Mistiss....you are so very right...if only our younger people knew and understood the meaning of loss........

Wish if your dad is still around i beg you....send him the song........[maybe he may realise he needs to step forward]
