You must have been quite young. You look like him.

I was. He died on 3 November and I turned 10 on the 22nd. My mom and dad would have been married for 20 years on 6 November. Of course, President Kennedy was killed on my birthday and I was sent home early from school to an empty house to watch the horrible news all by myself. I still miss my dad every day in some way or another and with no brothers or sisters you get to experience all the grief mostly alone.
Thank you – the Whelan men all kinda look alike 🙂
