Sorry to hear about your Dad, Ray; there's never a good time, but somehow Christmas 'sharpens the pointy stick' a bit. It sounds like you had a great relationship with him, and that's priceless. If the items have no meaning to you (other than the connection), and you have no way to find out why they had meaning to your Dad, then I think he should keep them. I imagine you have plenty of other ways to remember him. Big hug x
If I was to speculate I’d guess I think tax disc is his first motor bike (he was 18) and the mot for his car (aged 25). But that’s pure speculation. I think I’ve decided to take copies and then give them back to him.
Sorry to hear of your loss, especially this time of year. 84 is a fine age to live to and more so, think of the good, happy times you had together. All our best wishes!
Sorry to hear about your Dad. It's 37years since my Dad died but not a day goes by without thinking about him. I'd keep the things you found as a memory of him but don't worry about it if you don't want to because you always have the good times you spent together as lasting memories.
Sorry to read about your dad ray , but you have good memories and like you say he went peacefully . You will miss him we all do . It’s sad when ever it happens but don’t know why Christmas always seems to find so many . RIP your dad and take care bud
Sad times Ray....you deal with those items as you wish ...I , we can't make that decision . All i can say is when my old dad went i kept loads of stuff and boxed it all up in the attic ...but his last plastic driving licence is attached to the wall in my garage , and i get great comfort looking at his image and think of the happy times . Take care fella .
So very sorry to hear of your loss Ray, there's never a good time but being close to Christmas certainly doesn't help ease the pain(my mum died 17th of December, 5 years ago). Your memories of him are clearly overwhelmingly positive so try to focus on those rather than the fact that he's gone, after the passing of both my parents I would spend time looking through old photos of them and found it very therapeutic. Best wishes to you and the family Ray
That’s so sad and I’m so sorry for you. But how great you had a good relationship with him. It’s the way of the world that parents go first. Horrible for us but right for them. Taking copies is the right decision I reckon.
RIP dude, sad news. My thoughts and condolences are with you and your family. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Thanks everyone for your kind messages. In dads stuff there was this photo. Any ideas what it is, kit car perhaps?
Keep them. Something tangible to keep hold of, knowing he touched them will help when you cry and you will cry., So holding them will help .
