RE: The Day My Father Died :: A Reflection
This was an amazing read, @negativer. You so beautifully captured the complexity of relationships, and the fact that even when family members fall away from each other, the ties that bind them never break.
Time does tend to heal at least some wounds. It sounds like you found a way to forgive your father for his mistakes as he neared the end of his life.
Great post. Amazing retrospective.
Thank you @jayna! I didn't really know what I was trying to say until I was done writing. It really is about family, and even when there is baggage and people have bad feelings to each other, somehow it all goes away when the truth of mortality kicks in. We're all in the same boat at the end.
