thank you Tess all of my life i have always known my father was dead but no one talked about it why i dont know i still visited his mum and dad (they never talked about it either maybe it was because we were babies when it happened?)i had a lovely child hood with them not so good with my abusive step father,but our time with them always took away the blackness.i guess i am a bit scared but i have to do it thank you for your kindness no one has ever said sorry for the loss of your father it has i must admit made me a little tearful but i have to find out the information because i have never been allowed to moarn for the loss of my father thank you Sharon x
