(((Lilith))) & (((Lixy)))

Lil ~ my dad is indeed a strong guy, in many ways; oft-times in the past this has caused great rifts between us - let's say, it wasn't just work that took me 300 miles away from home for 10 years! Luckily, we rebuilt the bond a few years ago, and it keeps getting stronger every day.

Lixy ~ You're totally right - life isn't fair! I came to that conclusion many years ago, and I know my dad feels the same way about things. I guess that's been proven by his attitude to the whole scenario - no ranting about "why me" or anything like that, just a calm and dignified acceptance of his situation, and a determination to get on with things.

Actually, it's my mum who's proved to be the biggest surprise in all of this - much tougher lady than I already knew her to be.............
