Dad

Benny Boy has taken a bit of a battering in my blogs but this week I am writing about how important he is in our lives. He is our rock, the hub within our "unit".

I just finished reading "A Tiny Bit Marvellous", Dawn French's debut novel. As I turned the last page, I was heartbroken. Not because I didn't like the ending but because it did end.  I think it is the first novel I have managed to complete since Charlotte was born. A page turner of easy reading has been what I've needed and this wonderful story gave me just that.  The Mother, Mo and her two teenage kids, Dora and Oscar write their diary entries/blogs. Dad is just Dad. The reader does not get to know his name; he is Dad.  But Dad holds the family together just like my Benny Boy does. Dad is the unsung hero. My own Dad too is the heart of the Head family. Bless him.l

Slagging off Ben was the only way I could get him to read my blog so this week he gets praise, so hopefully he will read it.
