Thoughts are with you old son.
Lost my dad fifteen years back at 56. Tough old bastard, but Heart got him in the end. We had a terrible relationship all through my youth, he had made his mistakes, mostly drinking and fighting, and had been locked up a few times ( in truth me and me sisters loved it when he was "working away" as mum called it) and we finally made up a few years before he went. I was devastated, it was like I finally had a dad, then I lost him again. In truth and retrospect, most of the shit between us was my fault, he saw the bikes and bike gangs as me going down a road he was trying to keep me. Off so I didn't make his mistakes. I still miss him, just about every day, but I look back upon some of the things he did, and it makes me smile. He was a rogue..that pisspot helmet of his I wear on the triumph? He always reckoned he was wearing that the night I was concieved, behind the back of the gaiety dance club in Ramsey. Couldn't be bothered to take it off..paint a lovely picture of my mum dunnit lol. Dunno if it's true or was him winding me up, but Wearing that old lid means I get to take him with me on every ride, means more to me than all my bikes put together...all the best to you and your dad nick. Whatever happens, and trust me on this, he will always be with you in one way or another..
