My thanks to Gummo for pointing the way to one of the most telling, funny, wry and altogether moving valedictories to a parent, I’ve read for a long time.
I agree. Great writing and really moving. It makes me feel that I knew WG’s dad. I wonder if WG said all this stuff to his dad while he was alive. Often us blokes aren’t good at those things. I’m going down for my dad’s 80th soon, so it’s something to think about. My sympathies to you and your family if you read this, WG.
