I'm pleased you to see you can see some sort of sense in all this, despite everything. Hopefully you can eventually move one a little bit after this has settled, I guess sometimes we just have to let go of some of our grudges and anger. Keeping them won't do any good - to anyone. Love and Hugs Daniel Again, I’m sorry for your loss, whatever relation you and your dad had. I’m pleased you to see you can see some sort of sense in all this, despite everything. Hopefully you can eventually move one a little bit after this has settled, I guess sometimes we just have to let go of some of our grudges and anger. Keeping them won’t do any good – to anyone.

For all the fights, the pain and the anger there were good times and we did have some fun. Above all he made Mum happy and that mitigates almost everything, we may not have liked each other very much but in his own way I think he wanted to love me and that's what I'll try to remember when I say goodbye for the last time.

If I travel it'll be with my laptop and my blessed Smartphone because I'm going to need someone to hold my hand that day. Yes the good as well as the bad, the good times were wonderful but the bad times hardly bear describing and yet I still don't see him as a bad person, as you say different generations and very different values.

I think there's one thing we all have to remember - that our dads came from a different generation and therefore very often didn't see things the same way we do. I'm certain that your mind will be full of the good times, as well as the bad, and I for one think it right to remember and fully acknowledge both. To do otherwise is to go on living a lie. If you let me know the date of the funeral, sometime, I'll see to it that I'm around to offer a cyber hand for you to hold if you want to. So there’ll be mixed emotions.
