My Act of Remembrance

January 14th: My Act of Remembrance

One year ago on this date we gave the rebel soul away to a place that was so very much a part of him - the North Sea. We did it on his 79th Birthday, today he would have been 80.

He was some bloke - he lied about his age during the war so we were always mixed up as a family about how old he actually was.

Pain, regret, sorrow, laughter, happy times, things said, things never said. It all blends into a mix that's hard to convey, get to grips with and move on from but we do because we have to - it's just the way it is for us.

He enjoyed the confusion.
