Thinking of so many things to write. I could write endlessly.
I took on a journey, as I knew deep in my heart that regardless of the time – it was time. I cam to find many things that I didn’t know in person when I went back to see my parents. My father has battled something for a long time and now he accepts the things in which he has no control over.
We spent several hours talking and talking about the future within the family and my father shared things that he never shares. I do feel that in comparison to who he was and how he has declined to be something that is embarrassing. But I am casting that off.
As he has faced things that most people would live in a doomy way. He actually is making the best of things and is chipper and shared many stories with me and as well the thought of a man of his nature mentioning how proud he is of me. We sat outside and we talked endlessly and he wanted to know more with what I was doing now. He wants the best for me and as well the best in things from my mother. My mother has become very smart and as well her and I had a long talk and she gave me a bible that her mother gave her as a child. My mother is a moderate catholic and is sensible with it and now at this time before I left in the morning she gave it to me. I have never read the bible in my life. I am not agnostic nor anything of that sort.
I don’t know how to write it as I am in the midst of doing several things for the remainder of this week but something good has come out of all this.

ReplyDeleteIn The Arms Of Angel
isn't that great to hear your father say he's proud of you? hours spent with folks are moments to cherish. you are blessed jack.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear something good has come of this. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSure ~ Why Not ~
ReplyDeleteIt's all good and I am happy with how things have worked out. I think it's harmony in many ways. Thanks all. I have a new computer that was a great deal and I have to wire it in with my other system. Perhaps my dream of a small studio is in the making! Thank you to all that have the respect to right in a manner that is full of WORTH.
ReplyDeleteI think when our parents that we love and admire come to realize they don't have control of everything and everyone around them they have finally made peace with what is going on and finally do come to accept what has come to pass, I hope for the best for you and yours Jack always
ReplyDeleteIt good went we see our parents with new eyes.See the love that they have for Us..Went they share who they are with Us. Not just them being Mom and Dad.. I'm happy that you a good journey.
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad to hear that your visit with your parents was a pleasant one and left you with a good feeling.
ReplyDeleteHearing your father saying he is proud of you must certainly have been uplifting to say the least.
No one is perfect, and unfortunately that includes our parents, but one thing we can be sure of is that they love us. Enjoy them while they are still there, so you don't have regrets later, when they're gone.
You had a call in your heart to visit your folks, and you followed that call. Often that was all that we had to do, followed our heart, make peace and be happy. Glad you'd a fruitful journey, Jack. Blessing and warm regards.
ReplyDeleteIt was very up lifting - now I have just spent the entire day lifting boxes and things as I have been moving.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy them and snail mail works as they don't use a computer. Sometimes a letter is has much more meaning than calling.
G'day Jack,
ReplyDeleteThe feeling of relief from the acceptance of things often thought about but left unsaid, has now been cleared leaving the way for you to bask in the knowledge that all is as it should be. You have gone where so many don’t go & live to regret it Jack, but look at the rewards you have reaped….He who dares wins congratulations
Thank you...
ReplyDeleteIt takes many years for us to not be considered children by our parents. Sounds like you have been accepted and approved of as an adult. How wonderful, some people never get that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story about your father. I remember many talks I had with my dad, the best ones took place in the last few years of his life.
ReplyDeletePeace
