There are some dates that will remain engraved in our minds forever and each individual will have their own unique calendar of events, like a finger print of their lives.
Examples are :-
Birthdays. Milestones, like the day I quit smoking, or the day I left school. Global celebrations like Christmas. Major disasters like September 11th. etc
A day that is etched in my mind and the minds of all my family is January 17th 2010.
It was the day my father died.
A keen sailor in his free time, he lived for the sea and his boats. I didn’t realise it at the time, but it was when he died that I inherited one of the greatest gifts he could leave me.
His love for the sea.
My mother gave me his inflatable yacht tender and outboard engine which I now use to explore the sea lochs off the west coast of Scotland. As I explore these new corners in my world, Im proud to say, he is never far from my mind
