Endings

In my youth I was a big John McEnroe fan and therefore February 16th has always been a kind of significant date because it’s his birthday. When I knew my last day at work would be today I thought, that’s an easy day to remember. As it’s turned out, however, I will always remember it now, sadly, as the day my father-in-law died.

We went out for dinner with him and Mr DA’s step-mum only last night and I’m so glad that his last evening was a jolly one in the company of his grandsons. The last words he said to me as we said goodbye last night were one of his bad jokes :) RIP Gramps.
