Goodbye Mum.

[Blake]

Ah, well my best bet's they look bestest on your Mum anyway, and your Pa musta been something, I mean he won the heart of that beautiful smile...and those gorgeous dimples!

I can't help myself. This is my dad in about 1962, on a beach in Sydney or Newcastle. He's pretending to read the book.

It could be worse - he could be holding it upside down!

I was just joking, my father liked to read. Henry Miller, and detective novels. He told me when he was growing up in Sweden that there was this paperback, a Western, where this Native American scout used to be the hero. He said he liked that one.

I just like to say thank you, Mr. King, for having a great website like this, for being easy going, even when someone like me might make a stupid joke(s) and all that. For allowing someone to post pictures of parents. For some people who are experiencing loss, this might be their only way to feel better. I salute you (and all your followers, SKMB members.)
