I’ve just typed the date in and realised it’s the day my father died in 1955. (22-11-55). I was fourteen at the time. I sometimes wonder what affect it had on me as a teenager. I do remember one night, it was late, and me and my mates were slowly making our way home from somewhere, when one of them said: “My old man will kill me when I get home.” My immediate thought was that I had no “old man” to go home to.

Well, I finally made it: finished the edit of my WIP and handed it to my lovely, patient wife to read through.
