I've just been lurking and only reading the emails as they come in.
Obviously, some or you are doing in tough and others have come
through with flying colours! Just thought I would make a comment
as to how important it obviously is to love your dad and to tell him
that!! I've got four older kids who experienced me at my worst in
years gone by (one of them still hates my guts) but only one of
them has done so and calls me "Dad"! The others never have
and never use the word. I have asked them all to forgive me for
who I once used to be, but it's never been granted - they even
sent my wife "to Coventry" because she didn't give me the flick
when things were not so good! So it's good to know that many
of you are proud of your Dads - I would love to have my kids
proud of what I am now! Even though everything has changed
for the better and my younger ones and grandkids just love me
to bits, the hurt is obviously still there for us.
There's nothing on this earth more important than family!

I just wanted o thank the fella's from austraillia who served in nam. 2 dad's and an uncle were there with the usaf, army and marines, and each had the privilge of working with the "aussies". I remember knowing that in school during history lessons, when our teacher would throw a curve ball. (i had memorized a list of allies) . Once again gentelman, Thank You so much, as words cannot express my gratitude.
