Since I can say more here than on Twitter...my wife first told be about Harry years ago when she started following his Twitter account. She said the thing that most struck her was how much your Dad reminded her of her own grandfather, who was in the homeguard during the war and who himself was also "fiesty", perhaps a polite term.
The tweets about your Dad's last days, and the posts you've done since then about him and his life as well as your own really show that this is who you both are, not some avatar created for a social media presence to garner false engagement.
I hope there is still some fight left in people, but it's hard not to act like an abused pet when everyone is so worn out from regular day to day struggles, almost as if the pressures are manufactured on purpose. Reading about your Dad's past is at least a glimmer of hope that despite desperate circumstances one can still rise up.
Take care today. Have a beer if you can. Looking forward to hearing more.
Steve, thank you so much for this. It really means a lot. You are right we were the real deal and that was the brilliance of it. I am going to have a beer tonight and fish and chips for tea.
Thanks for sharing this poignant piece. Your father was, even in death, and the years leading up to it, a powerful inspirational force of nature. God bless him and you and your family.👏✍️💚
Thinking of you and your Dad today, John.
