Fathers' Day

My father died 10 years ago - a week after Princess Diana. I remember my sister and I pushing Dad in a wheelchair in the hospital gardens and talking about it. We had both heard about the accident on the radio as we drove to the hospital - at that point it was not known that she had died. Dad was not really interested.

Kevin's father died in 1990, so we have not had a family gathering to celebrate Fathers' Day for some time. However, last night we had a mini gathering.

Helen brought all the ingredients and cooked a delicious seafood pie, even though she was not feeling well - sore throat, snuffles, aches and pains. Graham, Kevin's brother, visited after he had been to his daughter's house for lunch and stayed to eat. It has been a very pleasant evening.
