I miss my Dad. Been two years since he died and I still cannot believe it. He was a bad father but a good man. I could talk to him about anything from Plato to Pluralism. He was a steadfast in my life...always there regardless. Even after arguments or quarrels he would always be there.
I remember his calls from Greece when we would get cut off in the middle of a sentence because his card had run out. He loved Greece so much...I wish he had lived there...it would have suited him. The saddest thing was the dementia - for a man so articulate and well-read. I think also some of things he had done through his life haunted him.
I believe he is in Greece now, sitting on a beach with a bottle of wine, a piece of cheese, some bread and a book. He gazes out to sea. I will never forget you Dad.
