I never really got on with my father.
I’ve written about this fact before
He died in 1989
Before I was fully cooked, so,to speak
Just a few years ago I learned that my fraternal grandfather was a bit of a bully.
He was a dour Scot and used the belt as corporal punishment.
Today his actions would be seen as bordering on child abuse.
My father was the eldest of three boys.
And he would always be the one who got a whipping
By stepping up, it would seem that he protected his two brothers, the youngest six years his junior
I never got on with my father,
But, now, I’m approaching my sixties
He’s a bit of a hero of mine.
