Second anniversary of my dad's passing

I told myself last year that I would write about it when this time comes around this year.

Glad that we returned from our stay in Dubai sooner than expected as less than a year later he passed away. He was so unhappy that we were relocating but such movies were hardly unusual in today's world.

How we die, when it happened tells us that essentially we have no control over the path we tread. Worrying about the future is one of the silliest things one can do. We can't help it. That worrying has caused many couples as I am reminded today in the Sunday Times to remain childless. This is the ultimate vote of pessimism. How do you reconcile survey results suggesting that we are happy when we do not want to have babies? My father often said how tough life would be for his grand children. He didn't envy them. I don't blame him for thinking so.
