Thinking About Dad

Time is finite.

Relationships with dad are complicated.

In my early years, my dad was non-existent in my life.

He didn’t really want much to do with me because I reminded him of my mom, whom he had divorced and left.

But, he’s seventy-two, and I’m reminded that I should say something to him, not because it’s a special day, but because it’s an ordinary day, and time is fleeting.

Mom died in nine hours.

I could get a call about him at any moment.

Wherever you are in your relationship with your Dad, don’t let anything go unsaid.

It’s worth a little time, and the peace of your mind and your heart to say something- anything- that’s worthy of being said if he’s not here tomorrow, because you never know.

Say it today.

Do it now.

Set yourself free before you become trapped by not saying something you wish you would have said.
