So seventeen years have passed since I became a Father, and this thought makes me feel older than the thought of my impending 45th Birthday. I do feel blessed to have her as a daughter, and I think sometimes that it's a shame that many of us, myself included do not really think about this unless there is a significant date like a birthday. I still wonder at the fact that I am supposedly a grown up, with the responsibility that I have, and soon she will be flying the nest as it where, and having responsibilities herself. It all seems to have gone so very quickly. Whilst I am running around like a mad thing over the next few weeks, I really must make the effort to spend some quality time (Even though I hate that phrase) with both of them. We spent the evening running a light hearted session, and then went to visit our old favourite curry house as a family. It was this place that we used to visit with our dear friends who moved away. I always think of them when we are there, and tweeted a message that hinted at this...how nice to get responses from them :-) I sound like we had a really maudlin day, we didn't, I just get too lost in thought sometimes.
