(Part 2 of a father’s journey to meet his own Dad for the first time. For Part 1, click here)

Before I go any further, I need to mention my Mum's parents who raised me after Mum died. Once I was in their care, I could not have had a better upbringing. Nan has gone now too and my father figure growing up was my Granddad. A finer gentleman does not exist. My father in law is also a welcome and very strong influence in my life. I am very lucky.
