Thank you for your kind words. <br />As I'm sure you could tell, I still miss that beautiful man and wonder what it would have been like to have him longer. Dad was very much of the same nature, not only in my mind, but from so many others who knew father and son. I feel blessed to have had them both in my life. So very hard to let them go.Crissoulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148084999701286044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099050778163931493.post-89651782425022770812017-08-21T10:47:33.284+10:002017-08-21T10:47:33.284+10:00Late as always...sorry.

Older generations thought they were protecting us from death but we know they were wrong...how sad to learn of your Papouli's death like that...from excitement to misery in a flash. You were fantastic carers for your dad and your generosity shows in how you let him go to your mum.

Most likely the movie had several posters as did the book, it happens often. I've yet to see the movie, though we do have it here.

I remember seeing it when it first came out and I saw it again very recently on the ABC as part of David Stratton's collection of memorable Australian movies. It was still a great movie the second time around. I hadn't realised how autobiographical it was though til I read the Wikipedia article.Anne Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970750528434435027noreply@blogger.com
