COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm sorry about that Adam, that must have been a very difficult time for you, your Mum and the rest of your family. I can understand why you wouldn't want to see him.
I didn't have my Dad as long as I would have liked but I know I was very lucky to have him as long as I did

Thanks, Lyn, it was a very long time ago, I am still grateful for his help in my early years and have fond memories of the good times.

My dad was a mean brute for the first 7 years of my life before he started to clean up his act. Then he married the wicked witch of the west and she took over doing horrid awful mean things. It wasn't until she died that he and I reconnected. Then he got sick with cancer and relied on me heavily, six years later we're doing ok. But it's been a journey

Very sorry to hear that too, Michelle.
We can choose our friends but we can't choose our families
I was very lucky!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

This woman was horrid. I despised her and feel terrible because I was not the least bit sad when she died. I was sad for my dad's heartbreak but not that she was gone. A truly mean spirited woman.

Not good.
I didn't know dad's woman very well, hardly at all, but her children ran away and wanted to come live with us later, told horrible stories (don't know if they were all true). She looked unpleasant, but I was biased and my memory might be playing tricks.

Well it speaks volumes that her own kids ran away!

You're very right and I'm happy you had such a good relationship with your dad. I have one similar with my mom she's my hero.

Funny how memories do that

On a lighter note, I need to run to the store to get something to make for supper. Any suggestions?

What's your level of cooking?

Yeah I had a great Mum too - wonderful lady!

How about a cheese, crisp (potato chips to you) and baked bean sandwich?
That's what I had earlier, yummy!

Well, I think they were a bit afraid of my dad who'd suddenly come to live with them, replacing their own father.
Not that my dad would have hurt them or been horrible to them, he was gentle but looked quite strong.

 

[Lyn W]

Chicken Fajitas ?

 

[meech008]

What's your level of cooking?

I can do just about anything

 

[meech008]

Chicken Fajitas ?

That sounds really good! Probably because we had those last night funny enough

Thanks, Kirsty, appreciated.
Hope you keep your daddy for a long while yet.
Sleep well and catch you popping tomorrow.

Mm - perhaps a cheese crisp and bean sandwich is a bit basic then!

It sounds good but I'm not sure hubby would go for that. He works overnight so he loads up because they don't get a break. I'd have to make a lot of sanwiches!

Funny how memories do that

Some scientists say 80% of your memories are wrong.
Or am I remembering that incorrectly?
