Dad in his famous dinner jacket. One occasion was accused of being a waiter at a restaurant. In being asked for an order from the table he proceeded into the kitchen and told the chefs what people had ordered and then went back to his table and carried on with his meal.

Great picture and great story William! I can so easily see your father! Thank you! I needed that!
ReplyDeleteMy dearest Penny,
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of you both every day, as you know from recent personal experience I learnt that in a situation, as critical as this, the only thing we can do is to be strong and to arm ourselves of motivation every single day, huge hope, and to not to forget to smile for you, for Paul and for all of those professionals caring for Paul. It does make a difference to them. Please let us know if there is anything we can do at this end.
With much love, Serena and John.

That's your Dad,William!
ReplyDeleteWhether urging a few more mackerel in to the boat..or discusing the VERY best share, or zooming up to Rhum for a quick rendezvous, there is NOBODY with his enthusiasm!
Thats just what's needed now and I'm sure he feels all the love and support.
With much love to your Mum, you and Charlotte, from us all, Willie, Linda and family Forsyth xx
Fantastic jacket! Paul always promises to take us out to lunch when he is next in Edinburgh and it would be great if he brought the jacket! All the best to Paul and you all on this long road. Do not worry about any paperwork just send it to us and we will keep everything straight whilst Paul gets better.
ReplyDeleteGood wishes from the team at Andrew Hamilton and Co.
Will , what a great entry ! Just what is needed and demonstrates your wonderful humour and bravery.

William – I know your Dad and your story reminds me of his true spirit and zest for life. The world needs more people like your father. He is a great guy and undoubtedly a wonderful father. I wish you and your family all the best at this most difficult time and hope and pray for his full recovery.

What a wonderful story! I am sure it makes everyone who reads it smile and all that positive energy is aimed straight at your dear father as he works his way back to you. My prayers for you all remain constant. Love, Susan Hanes (Chicago, IL USA)

Dear William
ReplyDeleteThis is why your dad has so many great friends who love him and are thinking of him now and praying for him. That special sense of humour and character that he has is why he will pull through this ; especially with you and his wonderful family around him. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and you all.
Love Ant and Mich.
As a fellow west coaster, the good times in boats up and down the west with Paul will never be forgotten. The staggeringly generous Paul and his immensly loyal wife are an inspiration to us.Look forward to resuming our boating as soon as Paul can.....
ReplyDeleteget well
