Fathers

I know that the trajectory of my relationship with my father is the same as many and probably has been chronicled in many pschology texts. And yet it remains perplexing and difficult.

I am now at the stage when I know my father is in the wrong and yet I see know value in fighting him. I am not compelled to prove something or I do not need to belittle him to make me feel like I am superior. I see him for who he is and who I really am. Men -- just trying to make it in a world which is much vaster than we are.

I love him for what he has provided me and appreciate everything that he has done given the tools he has. I respect him and I will always do that.

Thanks Dad for being the father I needed
