Tell Me A Story…

“Tell me a story about when you were young, Daddy.”

When I was very young, I loved to hear about my dad’s childhood and teenage years in the East End of London. I’d sit on his lap while he told me about his schooldays, describing Stepney and other parts of London, bringing them to life. He didn’t come from a wealthy family but by working hard and persevering, he built up a successful electrical contracting business with his twin brother.

One thing’s for sure, he provided everything I needed to follow my dreams. And I don’t just mean material things. He and Mum taught me by example to value people and be a responsible, caring human being.

I hope I never let you both down.

You are very precious to me, Dad. Happy Father’s Day.
