These were lovely, Caro. The last one so familiar and so heart breaking. Of course, made me think of my dad too, 13 years gone. I look forward to catching up with the other pieces you’ve written about your father

I was well into adulthood when I learned of my father's infidelity. It was during WWII. I suppose it was a common thing during the wartime but it shook my mother to the core. Dad had been dead for about 30 years and mom had remarried when we learned of this. His infidelity had given us a half sister, Cynthia, who lived in England. Her mum had told her about her biological father; thus began her pursuit of her half siblings. She and I kept in touch until her death.
