Thank you for this Margaret, it’s beautifully written. My father too is no longer here, so the sentiment resonates along with the quiet presence, doing what needed to be done, without fuss.
What a touching tribute to your Da Margaret. It’s hard to imagine how he managed to carry on alone with 5 young children and the demands of his work. One day at a time one step in front of the other and the rest follows. You paint a wonderful picture of a man of deep integrity and character.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute to a wonderful man. You were blessed, indeed.
Thank you Cindy! Yes, blessed.

Thank you Michela and yes, that lack of fuss, the quiet presence. It's good to honour those who never claimed nor wanted any limelight.

Thank you Kathy. Yes, integrity is a good word. I still don’t know how he managed, and never a word of complaint or self-pity.
