Strength shines through in your words. And the wisdom of paradoxes and nuance. We humans are so complex. Even as a child it feels as though you knew about this. Beautiful post.
What a remarkable post! I’m in awe at the depth of your sharing. I’m glad to meet your father and learn his lessons about life and letting go. We humans certainly are a complex mix of all things. Thanks for the reminders.
There was so much to appreciate in your story. I definitely can understand mixed feelings about one's parents. And maturing to a better understanding like you have. Thank you for sharing!
A very heartfelt tribute, rendered with honesty and introspection. I think many of us can relate to the mixed feelings about our parents. This piece truly gives meaning to the commandment to "honor thy father".
Thank you so much! . Our lives are filled with a mix of love, loss, grief, sadness, joy, peace and and so much more…it is so much easier to live when we focus on the positive, the lessons, the joy and the now. I appreciate you taking time to read this and leave your heartfelt comment.
Getting to sit with him at the end watching Nova and WWII documentaries as you did as a child and remembering his words to be a stronger person is just awesome. Beautifully written!

Beautifully crafted words to describe the realness of relationships.
The blame game was interesting and I automatically started to reevaluate in my mind if I do this..or where I might need to take a percentage myself.
