Epilogue pt. 1
My father has passed.
My father was a great doctor.
My father was a great colleague.
My father was a great husband.
My father was not a great father.
Some people would have considered my mother borderline neglectful. However I consider her the loving one, and my father the distant one. So how distant must he have been for that to be the case?
I do love my father, and acknowledge his virtues, but we weren't close.
I do though love being on the ocean, even if time on the boat with him was a trial.
I have no hesitancy about using power tools, even if time in the workshop was often part of onerous chores.
I'm not sure how would have been expected to be remembered, but I'm sure all of us would be surprised at the memories our loved ones will cling to.
He was loved, he will be missed.
