Ah pa finally got to meet his hero Hank Marvin and watch him playing guitar in real life.
We met a fellow Hank Marvin fan before the show started and he was telling us all about his love for Hank. We told him that our father loved The Shadows and my sister told him Apache was our get ready to go to breakfast song when we were kids.
At one point I was watching my father watch Hank Marvin play with joy in his eyes, when I noticed my sister who was sitting next to my father looking at him too. Throughout the night we were conscious of my dad, my sister offered him cough lollies when he coughed, I passed him a bottle of water that I prepared for him. When my father left to go to the toilet, both of us were watching him go and come back.
I realised at that moment the only people in the world that feel the way I do about my Ah pa are my siblings. Happy Father’s Day Ah pa, the best ah pa in the world.
