Been a bit? Yes! Am busy learning to be a psychotherapist. What fun! Get to help people and get paid for it, too. Life does have its rewards.
How are you out there? I never feel I have time enough to blog these days. But some life changing events have happened. My father died. He lived a good, longer life, but somehow that doesn't matter coz I miss him soooo very much. I have a picture of him in front of me, a profile shot in which he is modeling his latest birthday gift. It was winter so we bought him a plaid flannel shirt. He's not a lumber jack and that's okay! (Gotta know a bit of Monty P for that sentence!)
This past weekend was tough, father's day and all. It does sound trite, but it is true, he is always with me in my memory. Not the same, but wonderful none-the-less. And I guess that will have to do.
I try not to preach or moralise being of the liberalish persuasion and all.
But this I will say:
If you've got parents and you're on the outs, make up! Once they're gone, they're gone. As un-profound as that statement is, it is very true. Ask yourself: Is this vendetta, this misunderstanding, this 'whatever' worth holding on to? I know there are often 'principles' at stake. I don't say we should throw those to the wind. But your dad's your dad--for good or for ill/right or wrong--no one can ever replace him.
Consider it. And go in peace!
