I received an email this week, from the funeral directors, reminding me that it was nearly a year since Anthony died and offering links to grief counselling etc. I thought this was rather lovely as it affirmed that my August anxiety issues are perfectly normal – phew! There is nothing quite like being reassured that your abnormal behaviour is actually normal….
Anyway, in remembering the blur of my funeral arrangements, I recall being somewhat disappointed that my choice of exit music/song wasn’t played louder as the funeral ended. It was the Boney M 1979 version of the song Daddy Cool; and, at the time, I was 20 and he was 43. We were just best friends (all the romantic stuff happened much later) but we both loved Boney M.
I probably posted the link to this song last year but here it is again. Risqué, full of innuendo, hilarious, and wonderfully mischievous, this song catches a glimpse of the Anthony I fell in love with, and the daddy cool who Ming never met.

Loving the thought of Anthony as Daddy cool 🙂
Hope you’re well Julie xx

how cool! thanks for sharing –
Thanks for the link.
Did you dress like that then?
Haha – no!
When I saw the date of “Daddy Cool” I thought, “Okay, that explains the outfits..” I never would have pegged Anthony as a Boney M fan but as Daddy cool, I could almost see him hamming that up. This is a tough anniversary, I feel empathy.
