I Saw A Man Who Looked Like Dad

[MaNaAk]

Good evening everyone,

I was in Sainsbury's and I saw a man who looked just like dad complete with cap, jacket and walking stick.

its a shock when you do a double take and see someone that isnt. brings up memories without warning.

I know and @love.dad.but.. can sympathise with walking sticks as it was used by dad and other residents in the care home and unfortunately also in a threatening manner which is why dad ended up on memantine.

Every time I see my brother I’m reminded of my dad who died in 1999. They look scarily alike, down to the way they squint through their glasses. No wonder my mum always used to think my brother was her husband rather than her son.

I placed dad's favourite walking stick in with him before the funeral but kept a couple and each day I pass them they always take me back to those oh so many times with a smile on my face!

I've seen my mum in M & S a few times! I go in that M & S Food quite often and it's where we used to take mum to buy snacks in the early days of her being in the care home.

It's such a familiar setting so never a surprise to see her there. Of course, it's always some other little old lady but I really know that double take moment!

I've seen dad a few times in Sainsbury's recently.

my nan appears in the shop. any older lady with a blue coat and woolly hat ambling along. she used to put her shopping trolley in the trolley. it was her right of way wherever she went.

They were trying to hide their giggles!

PS: I have an image of dad wielding his walking stick in my head after the care home said he was using it in a threatening manner!
