send me cards from all over the world ,,
Singapore being one of the places , lovely to
receive cards but some can bring back memories.
What does
Singapore mean to me?
It makes me sad as it
was the last overseas place I was
ever with my dad.
We lived there
1963 - 1966
when my dad was based at
Raf Tengah.
My dad at work !
Me on the left ..
After we returned to the UK , my dad was ill
and passed away 1967 at the age of 41 , the day after his Birthday .
Never forgotten , he was my life.

he was so young! too soon to lose your father.
ReplyDeletehi Lucy , I agree , way to young , and we missed out on so much. x
DeleteHi, Anne. I didn't know you'd lived in Singapore. What a handsome man your Dad was. I know exactly how you must have felt, and still must feel, about losing him. Lots of love. xxxx
ReplyDeleteHello Pat , yes we lived there for 3 years, after my dad was posted there from Suffolk. We also lived in Germany and Holland; I lived in Germany in the 80's with my first husband who was in the Royal Air Force too. A very handsome man , and him being born in Malta :-) ,, I know you know the feeling ,, after all these years , the feelings have not gone away. Hope you are well , Lots of love xx
DeleteWhat a lovely tribute to your Dad Anne, it is so very sad when someone is taken from us, especially so very young.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, thank you so much . I don't write about my family on here , I don't think they like it , so I respect their wishes but I felt the need to do this .. I miss my dad , especially when a place is mentioned ,, he was far to young. yes very sad. xx
DeleteFar too young for both of you. But you have been left with happy memories tinged with happiness. Some fathers leave behind tainted memories tinged with sadness (in the extreme). You have been blessed, Anne.
ReplyDeleteI was born in Aden (RAF) and lived in Cyprus as a teenager. It made me who I am but this is the stage of life when I am certain I am who I want to be, living with the man who was made for me. It all comes out in the wash!
Hi Pat - waving! Am back in the blogging fold - just need to write more posts!
Hello Shirley , lovely of you to come over to my blog. I was certainly one of the lucky ones in some respects, he was a loving man . Ha another scaly brat :-) just like me and my sons. I love your comment thank you.

Hi Gaynor , thank you , yes young for both us, and for some reason it is hitting me hard again ,, He was a loving , caring man ,, adored man x
DeleteSo sad to lose your dad, he was too young to die at 39, You will miss him as he missed out on so much, particularly when grandchildren arrive.
ReplyDeleteHe was a very good looking young man. Good that you have your photo's to cherish. The photo's of you are very good too!

I was 26 when my dad died, he had the joy of meeting two of his grandchildren so that was good.

Yes my mum is still alive ,, re married about 25 years ago ,, yes It was good for you dad that he met two of his grandchildren xxx Take care and thank you.x
DeleteYour dad was handsome, and what great memories you must have built together as you traveled the world. The pictures of you when you were little look so like you now.

DeleteThat is way to young an age for your father to pass a away and sad for you that you missed many years of happiness with him.
ReplyDeleteThis post is a lovely tribute to him.
What a good looking man. So young to die. xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post Anne, very sad for you and he was so young. It is great though that his memory lives on and this is a great tribute to him. I am sure you found this post very emotional I know how I felt writing about my brother.
ReplyDeleteYou look just the same in your young photos as you do today, I would have recognised in any of these photos very easily. See you tomorrow :-) Take care Diane xox
