| Yep, that's me and my daddy playing on the beach |
Especially if her daddy can empathise a bit better than her mummy. Not that my mother cannot, but in character my Dad and I are really alike, so it's easier to talk to him.
This time however it was something else that was bothering me. The book, or better yet, one chapter. About military service and one of the people I am highlighting was bothering me. Not himself of course, he is long gone (more's the pity), but his army career.

I could have forked out big money for a professional opinion on the matter. Or I could ring my Dad. Who knows a thing or two about army things. Seeing as he was regular army at some point.
At first it was still a mystery, but after a minute (or five most likely), I finally started to grasp what he was saying. And realised that what I had written down wasn't wrong, it just was right twice. In other words, I used different wording to say the same thing twice. I changed it and now the story makes a lot more sense. I hope. And if the people who read it don't understand: they can talk to my Dad...

Crikey ...... how good are Dad's, aye?? My Mum's Dad died when she was just 2 years old. She so misses that she didn't have the opportunity to know him.
ReplyDeleteOh, I couldn't imagine not having (had) my Dad around. And I hope to have many more years with my Dad as well.
DeleteA sweet, old pic.
ReplyDeleteSo many times as I was scanning photos I have wished for my folks to ask more questions of them. Not possible. Dad died in 2004 and Mom in 2015. I know you appreciate every second with your parents. hugs janice
ReplyDeleteI am fortunate that I can still ask a lot of questions and they will answer me. Of course they could just make it up as they go along, but I don't believe that of them...
DeleteGlad you got that worked out with your dad.
