Yesterday was All Souls, a Christian equivalent to the Japanese Obon festival of remembering the dead. So these words remind me of my Dad who died this week ten years ago.
All children resemble their parents. Being a twin, my Dad had a very strong sense of fairness and injustice, because I guess everything in his life was shared equally. I think that has made its impression on me, though not always in a good way.
I wonder quite what a son of mine would be like. It seems such a child is not to be.
