That was a nice read, thank you. I was interested in how the author describes his father’s philosophy of wanting to let his children make up their own mind, then later seems to take no interest in the interest/life work of his child outside of how it related to the bubble of England. If I understand him, he is sad but understands and “gives up” his father at the end. He obviously still very much cares about his father and his legacy, as he admits being underwhelmed with the minister’s eulogy and eight years later writes this tribute. It feels like a half-finished thought writing this out. I’m not sure there is a bigger lesson to be easily drawn other than people are complicated and the ways we are influenced and try to influence are hard to understand.
