    So glad you, old longtime FS friend and bro in the Lord are picking these up. You must not have seen them first time around. Thanks for the lovely review. God Bless.

I hadn't read this story before and it was good to get a glimpse into you younger days. It was good since you were with them a couple of weeks that you at least liked some of them. It must have not been easy growing up with your dad away since you were eight but at least you were on good terms with him even though you didn't approve of his leaving.

    Beth I had not actually seen him in the flesh for nearly 7 years but we communicated or at least he did, some times. It may have been mentioned someplace else about the possibility of me and my brother with Mum moving to Queensland with Dad...but either God intervened or Maude interfered in the mail and he thought Mum never responded. She HAD said we would come.

A short chapter with the vacation. It must have seemed awkward seeing your dad after that many years being away. Were you able to at least get closer to him again after that amount of time? Seems like you didn't get much time to really spend with him while he ran the business.

    Same as above a reasonable reply in here but puter lost it. I never did get to know my Dad. He and Mum got back together in the 80's I dunno why, he was still the same.Might add more later, thanks.
reply by the author on 18-Feb-2021
    Yeah I never really got to know him. Later on you will see Mum and Dad got back together again. I dunno why - perhaps he wanted someone to look after him in his declining years. He was still the same old Jack that left Mum when I was 8.

Another satisfying chapter Dr Sankey. I really do enjoy your trip down memory lane. At least you have memories, some of us are not so lucky.
Also, your memory must be very accurate, I have trouble remembering two weeks ago. Great story. Sincerely Anne.

This is a quick, breezy memoir of a transitional chapter in your life. I have not read other chapters before but you held my attention with this one through your reportorial writing style and your subject itself. I see this as a straight memoir in which you share vignettes and anecdotes from your life in chronological order. One of the hallmark of a great memoir or autobiography is that when people read it, they feel they are hearing their own stories. Thank you for sharing yours.

    Thanks Sis Cat. pretty sure we have met before. Taking me a while to build up some Member Dollars to pump these out one last time, hopefully to Self-publish, soon. I am not looking to be a Best-selling writer here this was mainly for my own enjoyment to share with close friends and any family that might be interested hehe.

HI Geoff,

Glad to catch another chapter in the saga of your life. It must have been really tough to grow up with an absent father.

Hope you and Tootsie are well. Have a super week.

I really enjoyed reading this post. It's fun to read about not only the differences in families but differences in countries. That's what makes us all great. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, our parents behaviour can affect us very much. I'm not surprised at your reaction on getting home again. An interesting section of your life, well told.

    Thanks friend I deleted the errant "d" off 'manage' I reckon it was a slip up. Appreciate you picking that up. See you around.

This is well written and I saw no errors and have no suggestions. I like the size of the paragraphs. The breaks are perfect for keeping interest. Good luck with all the work that goes into the final review.
