The ‘old man’ passed away just before Christmas 3 years ago. This is a bottle I bought him for his 65th with plans to share it with him on his 75th - that would have been this year

Here’s to lost friends and family that we can’t share today with.

You have my deepest sympathies. It'll be 3 years for me too in a month's time, since my dad died. Still feels pretty raw sometimes. Here's to you and yours

Here's to yours at this time of the year.

My youngest kid found dads medi-alert bracelet in the xmas box (for the tree) the other week and insisted on wearing it for the next week - that was both good and heard

That would be a nice wine and a nice occasion. In a way you did share it with him on his 75th!

It sounds like your dad loved you. Remember the time you did have.
