Isn't It Ironic?
I have not seen my biological father in over 20 yrs, but every birthday and every Christmas I get a check and a short impersonal note. This birthday I got the same thing only this year he mentioned something about possibly meeting up in the next few months. Twenty years. That's SO long ago. I don't know why he'll be in Texas...
I just think it's ironic that I practically begged Brian to stay here for Lily, for no other reason than to save her from experiencing the kind of pain that I went through. It's not the same situation but I still think he made the wrong decision. Obviously, I might benefit from his staying. However, even if we didn't workout as a couple, I strongly believe it's his responsibilty as a father to stay in close proximity if he wants to perpetuate a strong bond with her. I pleaded with Brian b/c my biological father left me and now all the sudden my he pops back into my life. Strange timing.
Maybe I'm stressing over something that won't even happen. He didn't mention any specific dates and I certainly have no reason to trust what he says. I wouldn't look forward to seeing him, but I think it would be best. Maybe I'd get closure. I mostly think it would be nice to have seen him once before anything happened to either of us.
What does one say to a stranger that's hurt you so deeply that it still continues to hinder you even after twenty years?
