I know, I know… I’ve been very slack in letting you all know what has been happening. Truth is I’ve been a bit busy.

When last we spoke, I had just received an email from my Dad and I was sending him one. He had asked me to call him and I really wasn’t sure I was emotionally up to it. That all changed on Thursday. I plucked up the courage and picked up the phone.

I was really worried that we would have nothing to talk about, nothing in common. Well boy was I wrong!

Once we got over the tears and the Oh my lords, we just talked.

My Dad and I have quite a bit in common, We both love Sci-Fi, gadgets and tech toys. We have both served in the military, he was stationed in Belfast, Hong Kong and Germany to name a few. His first computer was an Altair. He had a C64 then an AT.

All the geek talk was awesome, but above all I realised I have a father that never stopped loving me. That still loves my Mother. That loves me without condition or reservation. It is an unusual feeling. I could get used to it.

Peace
