Dear Stranger,
I'm beyond glad I sent my dad an email, it turns out he's moving away to London soon.
A good pretext to go see him at least once before he leaves, introduce him to M, D will come too, he might finally be able to meet his grand children. Two of them anyway.
He was so happy to hear from me, so happy to learn some of the names of our family. The fact that he didn't even know his grandkids name made me unbelievably sad.
I'll keep telling him about our lives, and go see him one last time before he leaves to go back to England. That'll be a weird day, I haven't seen the old man in close to 7 years. The last time I heard his voice he sounded so frail, so old. I suppose he is old by now, god this is strange for me.
Stranger, give me strength to see him again.
Love, C
