My dad
To the people who know me, know that my dad have had a strained relationship at best for the last few years if not almost always. there are a lot of things that I have blamed on him, why I act the way I do, the fears that I seem to have, the lack of success that i seem to endure thru out my life and so on and so on. I could go on for pages on how I feel but I will save that for another post. last weekend I got to get together with him. I showed him some pictures tht I have taken and some that I have enlarged. At 45 I am still looking for acceptance and praise in my fathers eyes, and i actuctully got some. he told me that I have talent and that I should be doing more with my pictures. That really ment a lot to me. it also got me to looking at the lack of forgivness that I have done towards him over the years and mabe some of the reason we dont get together is because of me and not him. that mabe it is time to build something between us before it is too late. I mean after all, I want to have a good relationship with my grown son, so why should he be any different? I know he has gone thru some very rough times in his life and that mabe I should look at that too. with letting go of my resentments i could be letting go of a whole lot more.
