Memories of my Father

A number of visitors have contacted me with snippets and stories about their fathers triggered by the site. If you have a story, a joke, a bit of wisdom etc send them to fatherstories@liamog.com


One day over a cup of tea I was having a chat with my father. I was telling him what was going on in my life, "You have a different moral outlook than me", he said, "But then, we were both dealt different hands of cards." Liamog
One day,I was reading a book on astronomy when my father came into the room (I was about 35 years old). He asked me what the book was about. I explained that it was a mathematical analysis of the probability of existence of human life on other planets. Out of the Zillions of possibilities the author kept rooting out dead planets and still there were zillions left.

My father paused for a moment, thoughtfully. "All I know", he said, "is that when I look up at the sky, is that it's an awful lot bigger than me". I just knew that at the end of the book this was where the author would probably end up. However, unlike my father, I had to read all the way through the book, to reach the obvious. Liamog
