MY DAD SAID “Was I a good dad?”

I went into the care home today and sat with dad. It is very hot in Glasgow at the moment so am all sticky and uncomfortable, but I sat on his bed and held his hand as I always do. He is still mobile but yet shaky and his mind his slowly defrosting but he always knows me. We sat in the quiet, I smiled at him and he stared at me with the same blue eyes he gave me. “Was I a good dad?” he asked. Now after months in the care home and the surging emotions that has brought, I thought nothing could grab my throat and make me gulp. This did. “Dad, you were not a good dad you were a brilliant dad” I said. He squeezed my hand. <a href="https://medium.com/@janeygodley_42972/my-dad-said-was-i-a-good-dad-67f258b9cf82">Click Here</a>
