[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 274199, member: 4085"] One thing we haven't mentioned which brought a tear to the eye of evryone who witnessed it. sister in law is the only child of a couple who separated when he was very young (4 or 5 years old, I think) when his mother was sverely injured in accident that broke her neck. The fracture never healed properly and she varies between laboured movement on sticks and paraplegia with the constant threat that the unstable part of her spine will move and kill her. Her husband belonged to a religion that couldn't accept her disability and told him to leave her, which he did leaving his son to be the primary carer of his mother. About ten years later, he returned and asked his son to leave his mother and go with him. The b*****d is dead now but, understandably sister in law never regarded him as a true father. When sister in law came up to me after the ceremony and said, "NOW, I've got someone I can truly call 'Father'." I was floored but I'm very happy for him to call me 'Father' or preferably 'Dad'. I don't think the man ever realized what a special bloke he had sired. Marg's Man [/QUOTE]
