It is Father's day and you were my Dad. I am 70 years old, you only knew me for 3 of those years. My new parents were lovely, and told me only good things about you and your dad, my Grandad Frederick Francis Izzard. I came across a letter that you wrote, saying that you wished things were different, but you were not in a good place, therefore it is with regret that you accept my adoption. The last line on that letter you wrote, send my love to Tony, I only wish we could have met, but your health cruelly took you away from Sybil, and also the chance for me to meet you.
Not sure if I ever got to call you Dad at 3 years old, so I, like you, send my love to you DAD on Father's Day.
