It is so hard when anniversaries come around, all our thoughts are awoken and the pain, that never dissappears, returns full blown - bless you and bless your Dad, remember the good times XX.

to lose you Dad is dreadful - it was years before I could even talk about it without crying but I can handle it now - he was a great joker and raconteur and such a caring person - I've written a lovely article about my Dad on the Whitchurch and Llandaff North website called "My lovely Dad..." if anyone would care to take a look. He had such fun as a child plus the local history aspect of the story is of interest to people in this area. Lots of love, Ann in Cardiff XX

I still have difficulty talking about him without getting upset, even after all this time. I was a daddys girl, and he was taken so tragically in a road accident. I am away to look at the site now Anne.

Take Care

I can empathise .....lost My Mum, Dad and Brother within two and a half years. The pain when we lose someone close is immense and all we can do is remember the good times as you say.

must be so much worse to lose your Dad in an accident and obviously he was so much younger than my Dad - it was the fags that killed my Dad which was self inflicted really but when he was growing up to smoke was considered "cool" and then you're hooked

I am so fortunate to have both my parents (77 and 81 years old) and just cant begin to think how I will cope when the day comes that I have to say goodbye. My thoughts are with you on this sad anniversary. But DO remember all the good times Col x

Ann, I read you story, and found it very interesting. It's a wonder that poor woman didn't die of shock, but can see the funny side of it.

thanks for that Vods - through that story I met up with a second cousin living in Rotherham - we share the same great grandparents and he helped me enormously with my tree and I was able to fill in some gaps in his - strange how these things come about. I had another article on that site about my life as a child during the war and that brought forth a second cousin on my mother's side - we share the same great grandparents and she;s ccoming to visit from Burnham on Sea!!
