Dad, I hope that you can see
how much I treasure you;
You mean the world to me.
Love you daddy
(My dad is still alive, Alhamdulilah)

What would you say to your father if you could?

Why did you ask me if I had homework and then tell me that if I did have any I was too stupid to do it anyway? Why did you call me a yellow bellied siwash before I was even old enough to know what any one of those words meant. They still sting. I don't recall you ever giving me or any of my brothers and sisters a hug once in my life nor did I ever hear you say the words "I love you".
My Dad was in his 50's when I was born and he was born in 1893. Most kids thought he was my Grandfather. He died a few days before my 19th birthday.

My Dad died a year ago this past September on the same day that my oldest daughter had died eight years previously.
Dad taught me the joy that comes from working the land in spite of all the misery that accompanies it. He taught my sisters and I that girls/women could do anything they wanted as long as they put their minds to it. He instilled in me a life long love of politics and football.
So, right now I would ask him if they have big screen TV for Sunday's Grey Cup game. I know that wherever he is, he'll be watching.

I can't imagine losing a child. I admire the courage of anyone who can go on after that. I don't think I could. So sorry to hear about that Mowich.
Kreskin, thank you.
My youngest daughter, Jayna, is the joy of my life without her I would have faced a far tougher battle.

I am happy to read that your son is doing well, Avro. What type of cancer does he have?
And yes, you are right the resilience and bravery of our children is truly breath-taking.
My father has been gone for a long time, but I would say to him that, he never
figured out how to live life, first of all for himself, then for his wife and family,
we never had the nurturing we needed, and I have seen those blanks in my
makeup throughout the years, no hugs, no kisses, no time, no building of self
confidence, no trust, no being there, false promises, no money, but I guess what
I learned from him was, 'not' to be like that, be a good parent, and I knew how to
do that.
No, I can't imagine the pain and worry when your child is seriously ill, or is dieing,
the fear in the thought of it, is overwhelming.
