Memo to Fathers


We may have had our differences of the years on a host of issues big and small ones. Although you are not around because you passed away a few years ago.
I just wanted to thank you for riding my ass while I was growing up.I will admit I didn't understand what you where trying to achieve.
But as I got older they started to make since in the big picture of life.I will admit at times I was an asshole as a kid.But that is the nature of human beings as a whole.
We may look alike( family) but yet we are not one in the same.Looking back during my younger days I wasn't trying listen to anything that you said. That would be the hardheadedness that runs in the family
I just want to thank you for the values and ideas and beliefs that you instilled in me as a child.
Because once I became a father myself things had a whole different outlook on them.
Hell kids don't come with instructions,its trial and error on the some issues and hopefully finding a middle ground with his mother on them.
As I became older those same things that you spoke to me as a child, I started to see how they made since in the big picture of life as a whole.
Just a note saying thank you for all the difference that you made in my life.



P.S- Happy Fathers Day to All,

1. Mine passed away a month ago, a Liberal born in 1930 who imbued in me

the power to discern between F.D.R and Elanor and Shrub and laura. I miss my Dad, but feel blessed to have been raised and loved by him.

2. Old story about

how when I was growing up my father was the stupidest man on the planet who didn't understand anything.

Then I moved away, had kids and visited him one day and was astounded to see how much more sense he made now than he did years ago.
