I had thought about mailing the card; however I find something upsetting with the idea of the card being lost forever.Sooo-this-is-mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001864616415319712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-23319217050510122812017-06-25T09:48:53.413-04:002017-06-25T09:48:53.413-04:00Maddie, actually were not close when I was younger...Maddie, actually were not close when I was younger. I realized it was mostly because of my perception of our relationship and worked to change it. He also mellowed as he got older and I am happy with the way our relationship was when he died. At least I have that. I was a mommy's boy when little, shocking for a gay son, lol.Sooo-this-is-mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001864616415319712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-65636559528581719932017-06-24T22:16:02.352-04:002017-06-24T22:16:02.352-04:00I too was knocked out by the lovely pathos of your...I too was knocked out by the lovely pathos of your prose.

Try to focus on the happy. As for the card? Why not write something loving inside, address the envelope simply to "Dad" and stick it in the mail box.<br />JPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-26243540835097526882017-06-19T00:41:37.325-04:002017-06-19T00:41:37.325-04:00What a beautiful, but sad story.

I was as close as one could be, but my father and I had a turbulent relationship while I was in school, grades were never good enough, and the whole me, free spirit and open minded, and he, the close minded and prejudice.....yeah....you can imagine. But at the end I think he gave me his understanding and apology as best he could. I knew he was going that night. I was way, way more close to my mother. I'll be a mess when she's gone.<br /><br />Thank for sharing your touching story.Mistress Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098940220513091207noreply@blogger.com
