I'll have more to say on this, probably in another place. <br /><br />You were very close to your father, as I am to my daughters. I can feel your grief keenly. I'm sure you're getting on with your life as I want them to do after I've died. No father would want his children to cling to the past. <br /><br />Gone but not forgotten. That's how it should be.
