The Wisdom of the Aged.

When doctors gave my father 18 months to live he set about writing a series of short essays on a variety of subjects for the benefit of his immediate descendents.
He took a scattergun approach to his subject matter.
Some of them were written in an attempt to educate his children and his grandchildren, some were confessional and others were simply his thoughts and opinions.

These offerings were shared in good old fashioned hard copy, like a kind of snail mail blog, with an ever increasing circle of friends and relatives and friends of relatives, and relatives of friends.
They were eagerly anticipated and highly sought after.

He was invited to take part in a medical trial which was, happily, successful.
We got to spend a further eight years with this wonderful man, until he finally succumbed to the disease just before christmas in 2025.

It now seems only fair to share the wisdom of the aged with the wider world. Make of them what you will and take from them whatever you want to..
