That's very cool, pappy. Was your father a Marine?
The thing is, I made my peace with my father in July. Told him th. gs that needed to be said (positive, not negative). I didn't want him to die before I had a chance to tell him that despite the distance between us, that I always have loved him. He's emotionally distant, always has been, and I can't recall him ever telling me that he loved me or was proud of me. Nor has he called or written, even on my birthday, for as long as I can remember.
I have been willing to repair our relationship, if only he were willing to meet me part way. He just seemed unable or unwilling to do so.
Yeah, it's sad.
