This is your tartan in your avatar? Very distinctive. A rare tribute, and you yourself know how pleased and moved he would be by it if he knew.
Being scottish has little to do with it. Scotland and her music work their will on people -- if they're very lucky. My father wasn't scottish either, but he spent World War II stationed in the highlands, and it changed him. We loved each other very much, but there was always a communication difficulty between us, until I stopped trying to look straight at him and understand him, but instead begin to look at what he loved. Now I know him better than I ever did when I was young and he was alive, through this music and this culture.
The house is one thing -- but you made a home for his memory in a new creation within an ancient and loved tradition. That was inspired, really.

Dear Stoirmeil, This is indeed the tartan, there is a dress version as well. I had the same thing with my dad, communication did not allways go well. But through the years we look different upon things. We used to talk for hours until late at night, but we just had different vieuws. In spite of that the respect , due to the long talks, seemed to grow and there was the basis of love , wich helped a lot.The fact that we still miss people after they have died is a good thing, it means that they meant a lot to us when they were alive. Love surpasses death that is for sure. I feel indeed very lucky that Scotland has grabbed me this much, it is something that goes terribly deep and the kindness and hospitality of the Scots give me goose bumps every time I think of the moments I had the honour to be amongst them. This year I made the tour to the vaults in Edinburgh and I must say they gave me goose bumps too, but for a completely different reason! I was glad to get out of them, they did not offer a very welcoming atmosphere, two minutes after entering them my mouth went all dry. I do not mind gosts or certain energies, but I am frightened when they are unfriendly or even evil. From what I understood, most of what is in the vaults is to say the least not allways in a friendly mood. Anyway, thank you very much for your reply to my topic, lovely to read that there are so many similarities in relations that people have as children towards their parents. Tioraid, Marc.
