I didn’t know it then but he was my rock. I knew he had medal from the war that he never
talked about. He still painted in those
days and our house was full of books on techniques, easels and brushes.
Sometimes
at night he would pick up a flute and we would be treated to music divine. Much of my childhood was spent in visits to
doctors and it was him who ferried me around, desperately seeking a cure.
So what is lesson of fatherhood then? It is the strength to stand firm and
unwavering. Stand like a rock!

Thanks Rochelle. Maybe 'treatment' instead of 'cure' would have been a better word. But I do remain a 'medical marvel' ;-)
