Dad was a nice man and I think you would have gotten along well with him had you had the chance to ever meet him - He was...Spiritual and soulful I guess.
Part of being a parent is expecting that because it was done by you when you were a kid, your parents when they were - so on and so forth.
As a man who will be childless for his life I feel I'm not receiving my own payback. Self flagellation isn't my style either. Maybe the universe will punish me; I certainly deserve it.
Reading your words on this subject, the meaning of them, carries weight as I know, somewhat, how you are with your son. I'm afraid I'll never understand through lack of my own situation, but I suppose I sort of get it. I might not have a child, but I was one, and have a good memory for the good and bad I experienced.
Thank for your kind words on the eulogy...It's much more than that snippet I put on this post and maybe one day I'll share it all. I just spoke from the heart and in the only way I knew how.
Thank you for your comment as always. It is valued.
