It’s my dad’s 80th birthday tomorrow.
This is taken from a photo of him in sixth year at school – he was the dux of his year, and a prefect. He was academic, intelligent, clever.
We will be going to visit him in hospital tomorrow, where we’ve been visiting him every day for the past 10 weeks. Parkinson’s has taken its toll, and we can only hope that tomorrow will be a good day, where he’ll be ‘with us’, and we’ll see a wee twinkle of humour, a glimpse of the man we used to know.
Happy Birthday Dad

Quite a few of my family and friends think that this looks like my son, Ronan. Ronan reminded me of a photo of him when he was wee that looked uncanily like my dad when he was wee. I must try and find them to add here…
Can you see a resemblance?
