I’ll share that while I didn’t have the ideal home (parents divorced at my age 2), I always had my dad. I still do and I have his back.

He had the constant pressures I’ve. Personally, let overwhelm me. Some of that must be genetic. But I digress.

His efforts were sometimes clearly futile and could have been redirected to better spend time with us, but he was always there. He has always been there for all of us.

I could and can talk to him about anything. We have always been able to hug and say I love you. I don’t think I’ve ever ended a phone call without a sincere “I love you.” I don’t think I ever saw him in person and not left with a big hug. No one is perfect. But a man will be there.

I couldn’t imagine a life where I didn’t have this big proud man to talk to. Not perfect, but more than enough.

He’s never been afraid to admit his own errors. He’s never not forgiven me for my mistakes.

I told him all this tonight. Not the first time, but it always matters.

I feel bad for you. I had no love for my Dad. I am sure he's in hell right now for all the shit he did in life and my mother will be joining him at some point. She posts bullshit bible verses on Facebook every day but it won't save her.

I hear you man. My mother was a nightmare as well. I wasn't speaking to her when she died and I don't regret it. She made everyone's life a shit show most of the time including my dad's. Don't get me wrong, he was no Saint but my older brother and I have said for many years that the wrong one died young.
