Peter, this was a lovely poem. I too lost a Dad too young and my mom had a long lonely but fairly happy life after. Very appropriate here in the states as this weekend is fathers day and all us old guys have these kinds of memories.

Thanks, Ernest, for the encouraging feedback. Publishing close to Father’s Day is just a happy coincidence but nice to know.
