Prologue

For my dad’s birthday, from his eldest son R (my stepbrother), he received a book called “Dear Dad – From You to Me”. The book is full of headings such as “tell me about the first time you met my mother”, or “what were your favourite childhood toys?” The idea is that my dad has to fill in the book with all his memories, and send it back to R.

I decided to take the headings in the book, relate them to myself, and write my history to give to Isla.

So, here goes.
