Now that I have a minute to myself, I would like to say:-
A big thank you to all, both on this thread and the previous one I put up about Dad's party, who wished him a Happy Birthday.

Everyone had a wonderful time, not least Dad himself, who was speechless at times. (Well, that was a first).
Wonderful food had been provided for by the local caterers, so many people turned up, and even the brother from South Africa, managed to stretch his hands to the bottom of his deep pockets, and put a tab behind the bar.
I watched Dad's face, as the Pipers came in, and tuned up. He was totally gob-smacked, and was soon tapping his foot to the beat of the tunes. He was asked if they could play his favourite, and he answered 'The Green Hills of Tyrol, which he has told me today, that, on the last time he left the island by boat, the Bannertyne & Stuart Pipe band had played as his farewell. So many touching moments.
I only managed, because of medication, to be able to stay for a couple of hours, but I am told Dad was there until 6.00. He then took a couple of pieces of Birthday Cake, over to my old school friend, who is nursing her husband to the end with cancer, and stayed and kept them company for a couple of hours.
I saw so many children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of my own, I did not realise I had so many, but it was grand to see them altogether, and there was as many again that could not make it.
Taking farewell of my brother was the hardest part, never knowing if I will ever see him again. We had a mellowing of our characters, and parted with fond farewells.
Yes, Dad had a very good birthday, along with about 25 bottles of Whisky.
This time, I wanted to give him a different sort of present as I knew he would receive the usual.
I bought him a book 'Targeting of the Terpitz', something I know he will never forget.
