susiepoos Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 So sorry for your loss - those words about the ship are wonderful - my Dad was a master mariner and those words just got to me - many a time I spent sitting at Crosby front at the mouth of the Mersey saying goodbye to him sailing away.........

Guest Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 thanks everyone xxx Hi Sheila, the one that Jilius posted by Henry Van Dyke on one of the previous pages of this thread, dad adored his ships and it seemed fitting somehow. This is him with me and my sister (quite a while ago! LOL) He used to take us to see ships at the docks quite a lot. I think I was attempting some sort of salute!? I love this one of him, that expression on his face was just so typical of him, he had a really kind face Oh, that's me too by the way. it's nice to talk about him, sorry to bore you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
