Thank you Frank,
I have that terrible feeling now that there's something I forgot to say 
or tell him, but no idea what.
I spoke to my dad on the phone the day before yesterday, just terribly 
normal things like what he was planning to cook for Christmas dinner, 
whether the German Christmas cakes and gingerbread biscuits we sent were 
really to be shared with my sister. I'll miss the clearing of the throat 
and the "Heeello, 'ow are you then?" that were his first words when he 
called, and many other things too.
Take good care of your Dad, and a Happy Christmas  to you and your loved 
ones from Frauke, Florian and myself here in Hannover.
