Daddy’s girl

Yesterday’s funeral was for the father of my daughter in law. She has lost both her parents this year, so sad for her and her father was very special to her. But her parents reached a good age, she was lucky in that respect.
My parents died comparatively young, my father aged forty when I was just fifteen. This photo must have been taken late in his life. . I was very close to my father, we had lots of common interests, and I do wish I had known him for longer. I did not go to his funeral. I think at that time young people didn’t go to funerals. I didn’t go to my mother’s funeral either, I am not sure why.
