Sir, – Michael Harding’s “My father’s shadow haunts me” (Life, May 3rd) resonated with me.
My dear father died quite suddenly in 1986. With family and my prospective wife’s very important and complete agreement I took over the “family business”.
Now, I find myself in “my own” business for nearly 40 years, almost eight years more than my late lamented and dear father.
My patrons still lament the absence of his professional competence, capacity and negotiation abilities.
Ann Ingle: Deliberately going out of my way to move for no particular reason has never appealed to me
Gerry Thornley: How about an alternative look at Ireland’s Six Nations win over England?
Is Ireland anti-Semitic, an outlier of tolerance or in the middle ground?
How risky is it to buy a second-hand EV?
In the utmost humility, I bow, and listen to my dear father, for his nudge and advice in my left ear and shoulder. When I listen, and I always do, he’s never wrong.
Thank you, Michael, for giving me a Dad awareness day. May all our dads rest in peace. – Yours, etc.
