Count your blessings.
Ah, I have a father like that. I've received one letter from him in my whole 50 plus years of life, and I always do the calling. But I do try to call him from time to time and it's OK if I make the effort to visit. Phone calls are uphill talking. I just try to feel lucky that I have many other good relatives. And I do.
He did well with my niece for a while, but then she went to college and he was left with the phone and things have gone badly. *sigh* None-the-less he's a better grampa than he ever was a father.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
