Yes, Mick, thanks so much for sharing what you and your family have been going through - the struggles, the loving but not always smooth relationships, the strong ties.   I can see how people like your Da and the ordeals you've been through have strengthened your character and warmed your heart, where they might have had the opposite effect on some.   Bless you and your family.   And, yes, God be good to your dear Da.
