  11. My pops was a first lieutenant on a liberty ship in ww2 ..
    Liberty ships were the transport workhorse of ww2.
    A few are sunken around the british coast...
    Running supplies beetween new york, to england and africa ..
    Had me when he was 46 , died a week before i turned 21 .
    Cancer got him , real bad .real quick he was super strong in his prime .
    I think he regretted not taking himself out while he could.
    You should feel lucky either way .
    , i never had the chance to belly up to the bar when my "young
    And selfish foolish" period was over ....
    But at least he was a good father , more than others ive heard of ...

    Ok I'll be your new dad too, but you'll have to share with Ricky,

  14. I don't think you'll regret not 'making up' with your dad...what's to make up? It might be worth talking it over with a counsellor at some time, though...by your own admission, you were amazed at how much bile and bitterness you still carry towards him and the past situation, when confronted...gone but not forgotten...no one says you have to forgive him, but understanding where he was coming from may purge some of the negativity....which tends to intrude in other aspects of our lives and relationships....

    Sorry to get all Clare Rayner.

    It's a funny old world. My dad is as boring as poo, I love him now he's older and relaxed a bit but really as a fellow human being on the road of life he may as well have not been there when I was growing up. Other than all the many things he did for us, which he did - camping, holidays, easy life, there was not enough actual person to person connection - I guess he was as stressed as I was in the same situation and being responsible for not dropping one of the many balls he was no doubt juggling.
    So, your dad might be a feck up as a human being, but hey, aren't we all to varying degrees. Yours was possibly not the arse you took him for, just human, but as a child you expect perfection from your parents? Maybe give the twot another chance and try and assess him as a falible human being rather than a failed parent.
    That's more or less what I tell my kids when they aren't so impressed with their mother and I hope it'll come to mind when they aren't too impressed with me either.

  18. Thanks Barry - but It's me who should be the daddy - having now been an orphan for over 50 years!

    When we were kids in the 60's and everyone got drunk big time at Christmas, Me and my Bro were waiting patiently in bed for the morning and nipping out of bed to look at the snow and see if we could see father Christmas and his reindeers. About midnight my very drunken dad dressed up in my mums fur coat and bobble hat stumbled into the bedroom with two pillowcases full of presents on his back saying loudly 'HO HO HO, MEEERRY CHRISTMAS HO HO HO' My bro jumped up, pulled off his hat and shouted- ' That's not father Christmas. That's DAD, AND HE'S DRUNK!'

    Kinda ruined it from then on. :rolleyes:
