Thanks for sharing your story. I wish I had my Father back, but he is not longer with me, I would love him unconditionally, perhaps the only love he would seen was mine, but it to late to lament about it. When we love ourselves it comes easy to love the unlovable. “Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise), 3“that it may go well with you and that you may be long-lived on the earth.”… Proverbs 23:22 “Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.”27 With all your heart honor your father,
and do not forget the birth pangs of your mother.
28 Remember that it was of your parents you were born;
how can you repay what they have given to you?
Loving unconditionally is the benchmark that we should all be striving to achieve. I wish that I was better at it but I fall short more often that I would like. I'm sorry to hear of your loss.
I'm not sure that I can but trying to be a good son and take care of them is how I try to repay them. Paying it forward by helping others is another way that we can honor their memories and legacy.
