It’s truly been an emotional week. But, despite learning that my father was worse than I’d experienced or imagined, my week has ended on a high. I’ve re-established contact with family long (and wrongly) abandoned because they were related to my father. Sadly, many relevant people from my childhood have passed away, but there are people i’ve not yet met.

My uncle Leslie, who helped more than he knew when i was a kid, is at the back. My two sisters are seated.

Resolutions were made and will be kept.
