My Dad circa 1937

[Mad Aussie]

I believe in a difference between a father and a dad. A father is your biological parent ... a dad is the one who takes you camping, on picnics, reads stories etc. Sometimes theyare the same person ... sometimes they aren't.

Cool story on your father M.

Dad is back in Brisbane now under going his radiation treatment and some chemo. 37 treatments in the next 7 weeks apparently.

oh my, that sounds intense. I hope that all goes well.

on a related issue- how's Leanne?

[Mad Aussie]

Thanks Bambi. Leanne's doing well. Arm still giving her trouble if she tries to lift too much or moves it the wrong way still but it's improving. She's road riding again as I've mentioned but not feeling up to mountain biking yet.

Phew. When I opened this thread and started reading, dread was building as to why it was bumped. Your family's response is dead on; this is a loving tribute to a man you greatly admire and it shows. I'm glad he's got treatment straightened out and I hope it brings him years to spend with you all.

Thank you WD
