My dad gave me this book with this dedication when I passed my A-levels and before I went to university. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that time, when there was so much still to come and reason for excitement. But I guess I'm feeling a bit down today, I've been ill with flu all week and I think I'm going stir-crazy!
My father would be 77 today; unfortunately he died in April 2004.
