I love this. If my daddy hadn't died when I was 18 (a time when we had a lot of conflicts between us) I like to think we'd have gotten closer, perhaps so many years of MY life wouldn't have been wasted.
I feel sure he would be proud of who I am now.
Well said @coinjoe,
Thank you Jerry! My sperm donor died when I was 17. I doubt if he had lived longer we would have worked through anything though. He had no interest in family. Luck would have it though I had plenty of male role models growing up and throughout my life such as my pops-in-law. Hope you have a good one Jerry.
Thank you, best wishes to you as well
