Never turned up then Suzi
I don't look at photos of my parents with any great emotion. My childhood is hidden ......... we learned to keep quiet and not ask questions. Mum never allowed me to build a relationship with my Dad ........ I only found out after he had died ......... I think he found it easier not to make too much of me in case of arguments ..........
Often I look at the one where Dad is holding me and wonder what he is thinking - I am quite relaxed but would like to know how he felt, being a Dad so suddenly
. He was holding me so must have liked me a bit
