Well...looking back I loved my Dad a lot more than I showed him whilst he was alive - but he was also a somewhat uncaring alcoholic. I got on with him all the time but he made a lot of mistakes and never really made an effort, even though I could never say anything bad to him - we just got on. The fact that I didn't cry at his funeral this year probably says quite a lot...I was devastated when I found out he died, obviously, but since we weren't that close I didn't really go into hysterics.

I always have ferocious rows with my mum but I know that she is without a doubt the biggest influence, role model and person who I depend upon the most - I hardly ever show her how much I love her and admire her and I should. She's put in so much into giving me and my siblings a good upbringing, particularly at this time of year when she's gotten into so much debt to give us a good Christmas.

So although I'd never pick which I prefer, I think I care and notice my mum more.
