More Remembering

Feb 20, 2008 14:27

I was looking at the posts that I posted in my lj about my dad and him dying. I look to where I am now and realize that I really don't have a role model to really look up to. I look at all these older men in my life and really none of them are really living a life that I would want to follow. Even that, I don't see one that I can go to when I want to talk about man stuff and about being a good husband and being a good man. I'm just at a loss when it comes to these things, especially finding one that I can ask if what I'm doing with my life right now is good and right.

I feel lost.

And it's hard because I know that peers and friends can lift me up and encourage me and throw pity parties for me, and I'll feel good for a couple of days even, but it's still not what I'm looking for.

Acknowledgment and support in what I'm doing and what I stand for.

I don't have that.

Dad never said it was ok.
