At the age of 92 , bedbound, lost in dementia land and not really Dad’ any more, he likes to look through cutlery.
He points to my mother’s cabinet of curiosities and asks if we can look through corkscrews, forks and spoons.
Once again, he is the junk dealer he used to be and we are in his shop selling the old brown furniture and crockery bought for a song in auction rooms.
Suddenly, the junk shop fades away and we're in the waiting room at a train station, but we're not sure where we're going.
After the death of my mother, I didn't go home for 17 years after her death.
Dad didn't want anyone to visit and he didn't know how to mend it or explain how much it hurt.
Effectively he had filled the empty space with grief and then, with increasing frailty and the isolation of Covid , he became his own ghost.
