Penzy,not all Dad's are good and i think you know who i am alluding to but we were the lucky ones and i often hear my fathers words in my ear,normally disapproving of some foolish action i have taken. :) xx

I know, unfortunately. But your dad (and/or Mum) must have been kind.....someone must have been an example to your warm ways ;-) xx

I guess when we are blessed with nice parents we want to follow their example but i haven't made the grade yet so i guess i'll keep on trying. :) x

Love it Skis, great words. I lost my father when I was 12 so never had long with him, but still think of him. Carole 😘

Carole,how sad to lose your dad at such a tender age,i lost my mother when i was 15 but i was one of the lucky ones and my dad stayed around for 70 yrs of my life but even that seemed to short. :) xx

Nice music Skis. We are out to lunch today with son and his wife who live two doors away. Going out anywhere feels like a challenge these days, never feeling that well for being good company. Eldest son is swimming for some cause, 2 and a half miles river swim. In September he is swimming 6 miles for Meningitis, his brother our youngest, had a very close call with that a couple of years ago. Hope you enjoy your day. Love Iris x

Enjoy your lunch Iris,our George developed meningitis when he was bitten by a tick and had Lymes disease,it has left him with a permanently weakened immune system so a very worthy cause to take the dip for.:)

Love ski's and Scruff's xx

Yes, to all dads, past and present.

Lost mine to a stroke in 2004, and still miss him terribly every day - my best friend, my rock, my courage.

He would have been 101 this year, as would my mother have been too.

His calm, quiet, yet all knowing ways were a wonderful thing, and I was lucky to have had him.

skischool profile image
skischool in reply to MacColl

MacColl,he is still here and playing a massive part in your life and those feeling are testimony to that. :) x

MacColl profile image
MacColl in reply to skischool

Thanks! Yes, he was rather special ...and my husband and two sons would echo my thoughts too.

Nothing could harm me when he was by my side.

As I said, I was lucky to have had him, and probably luckier still to be able to tell him that and all the things he meant to me two days before he died.

Still feel the need to talk to him, even at my age, and I do still tell him I love him.

skischool in reply to MacColl

He will still be listening,the relationship is ageless. :) x

Hmmm, Father’s Day. What is that? My own father remarried just 6 weeks after my mother died from bowel cancer when I was seventeen (draw your own conclusions). I have not seen or heard of him since a big bust up over it, nor my younger siblings. My own children? Not a peep from either of them. Sharon is at work. So just an ordinary meaningless day, by myself. I also know that I am not alone, there are plenty of others that this day must bring sadness to as well, there are many orphans out there who are totally on their own.

Don't get me wrong, I have plenty to be thankful for, but sometimes the world is just a great big onion, it stinks!

Funny old World 2 gs, This is why I dedicated today to My Mum, My Dad Died also of Bowel Cancer when I was 4 years old with 2 older siblings and a younger one of 18 months old. My Mum Did remarry later on , but I think too quickly, as in those days it was for Security, She had a Further 4 Children, my (Step Brothers) whom are my Brothers. Anyway, he was never there always drifting off, So my Poor old Mum never got that Security, She did a Grand job with Raising her 8 Children(The Boys had to Learn to Knit also). She Lived to Be 89. Dementia got her in the end. Love n Hugs Hun. xxxx

I rather like the smell of onions and a bit like memories you can always throw away the ones that go rotten and enjoy the ones that don't. :)

Izb1 in reply to 2greys

Sorry to hear this 2greys. I didnt have a close relationship with my Dad, which is a shame, we had an argument when my daughter was born and he died when she was 3 months old, so I never got to say sorry. And my daughters father never saw her after I got divorced, he has now died. So it seems thats the way life runs. I try to keep the love I have in my heart and not get bitter, that gets easier as I age. Thanks for the song, it brings back memories. I was 17 when that came out x

Lyd12 profile image
Lyd12 in reply to 2greys

That is a sad story,and seventeen is a sensitive age for such tragedy. Do you know your dad's background? I know that some of the characteristics of my dad were due to his own upbringing. As in my mum's case too. She never showed affection, she was brought up in a care home, where the children were ill treated, so she learnt to be tough, never shed a tear. As for Dad, his mum was put in a mental home, around the time of her menopause, and died there of untreated cancer. He and his siblings collected barrowloads of manure from the streets to sell house to house. Plenty of horses on the roads then! How can we judge them? Love Iris x

I consider my self very fortunate I loved my dad and tho he died 11 years ago there are times when I think ‘ oh must tell dad that’

I think the best bit is I was adopted as a baby as were my three non biological brothers. It takes a very special man to bring up other people’s children, and to be very much loved and cherished.

Well thanks for that judes and your were fortunate indeed as were your new brothers to have such a special bloke in your lives. :) x

My eldest son is adopted, our first baby died and I just didn't conceive after that so we decided to adopt. He mended my broken heart, and I then went on to have two more babies, both boys. Realised then we had to use contraception, problem solved! Pleased to say they all got on well together, and live very close, adopted son next door, although youngest is in Sydney. We honestly treat them all the same, love them dearly and feel very privileged. Good luck, love Iris x

Never knew mine or even who he was but I'm sure he would have been a lovely guy whoever he was . I was told he was killed in the war but I think maybe that was a wee fib to hush me up as a young girl 😀 Even now at my great age I can't help wondering what he was like but of course I will never know . Cheers to him anyway🍺

skischool in reply to Gladwyn

Oh that is a sad tale Gladwyn and i can't help but wonder why nobody has even enlightened you but nice that you still think of him and raise a glass of cheer to his memory. :) x

I have always been a Genesis fan,and Mike Rutherford and the mechanics were an equally talented spin off. :) x

in reply to skischool

We were lucky when I think back we had great songs I loved ABBA and many others I think I knew them all by heart ♥ listening to top of the pop's on my little transistor radio 📻 great times. It didn't take a lot to make us happy. 😃 Happy Days 💞XX

Thanks for posting - hadn’t heard that in a while. I hope your scan shows improvement. I had an MRI last weekend for a different problem and the report says ‘unreadable’. 🙁. And I was keeping as still as a statue.

Happy Monday to all of us!!

The radiographer did a thorough job and said he is happy with the images so it is now down to my multi disciplinary team to analyse the results and draw their conclusions.

glad you liked the music. :) x
