The tin bath and outside toilet. Tell me about it.
Why i hugged my father when i knew he was close to death.
You got us out of that hell and i am grateful.
I know you could have asked your father,but like me too proud.

Perhaps i need to explain that. My father refused any money from his father.Would do it alone and he did. It meant in my childhood i rarely saw him, he was always working. Left home early in the morning and came home late, when i was already asleep. It made for an anger in me in my youth. But i understand why. That was the hug at the station, the last time i saw him.

So back to Grannie. Do it your way and bugger the consequences. Not her words, she was far to polite to express it that way. But father knew it and so in turn did i.

"Oh it's you and is what's her name with you or whoever?". Then drifted back to her childhood, sisters and brothers. Guess i am getting that way. |

Do you mean she could of paid? Sure she could of, but she knew it would have been refused. Love is not money. |

I Think some history here would not be amiss. My grandfather was a medic in world war one.He saw the horrors, never spoke of them. Grannie told me.My father served in world war two.He was shattered by the experience. I do have some photographs he took, looks like a firework display. It was not. Then consider it was five years after that that my older sister was conceived and six years after i was.
The man had been to hell and so had my mother.Some things are indeed too deep for words.

Sure she could of, but she knew it would have been refused. Love is not money. Nothing hard to understand - what did your Grannie say about the situation? And I reckon you are making stories up now - now you are allocating yourself expertise in the relationship between your Gran and your Dad. You're the same guy that posted it was only the last time you saw him you felt reconciled with him ( the hug). I doubt you have a clue what went on between your Dad and Gran. Cos you can be assured something malfunctioned big time in the family dynamic. Was your Dad a stranger to you? Someone to be rebelled against? Someone you could be a stubborn and hurtful bastard to? |

Cos you can be assured something malfunctioned big time in the family dynamic. Was your Dad a stranger to you? Someone to be rebelled against? Someone you could be a stubborn and hurtful bastard to? I will try to answer your question. As said father worked way too much.Commuting to London every day, and home late. We did have a strained relationship, i was much closer to my mother and Gran. I have been criticized by my best friend, he who knew my father and i. Of some of my writings. To quote him, "You are too harsh on him,'. I think he is correct. There was a very strained relationship between my father and mother. In today's world they would have divorced. I sided with my mother. Is that helping you to understand? |
