My father walking out on Christmas Day, I was 4. My parents were separated already, my father had come down to spend Christmas with his kids, but he had agreed that he would buy and bring a bike for my sister as her big present for the year, she was 5 and wanted a bike. Naturally, him being a financial idiot (which we knew nothing about at that age), he came down with no money and no bike because he'd spent it all on nonsense. My mother got mad, which is understandable, they had a fight, which we hated, he walked out and my first memory formed in my head is that entire sequence of events and me chasing after my father as he walked on down the road away from me. Devastated me as a child, but I didn't know then what I know now...

Turned out okay!

I heard my Da coming to bed singing as he did so. I was 3. This was back in Ireland. Why do I remember it? Because I just do.
