Father's day
SO I watched on Facebook yesterday all the sweet things people said about their dads. Many of you never knew him, some of you knew about my dad and our relationship. He was a very smart man, built a great business and was and still is very respected for his work. BUT, he was not necessarily a good father. Sometimes he tried, for 5 years between 19 and 24 I talked to him once...he didn't try.
Today I saw the first blooms of thistle and I wept thinking of him. My tattoo has a thistle in remembrance of him.
I remember at his memorial that his work threw, this guy talking about how awesome my dad was- how he took a real interest in his schooling (paid for it) and help him choose a school for his son etc... I had to get up and walk away. These were all things he should have done for me! His blood daughter.
Yes I loved my father, mostly because he's blood. Not because he was my "Dad". I miss him because I think of what he could have become given enough time.
