He'...I'm grateful every day for my father. He's a rock and I will forever look to him for guidance and support. I remember watching my uncle and my cousin (not his child) hold one another at my cousin's funeral (his child). My cousin had lost her dad 10 years earlier, and all I could think while I watched them together was "Dads without daughters and daughters without Dads". It broke my heart into a million pieces.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420841652300294215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-82005172378050198252011-06-26T06:33:07.408-04:002011-06-26T06:33:07.408-04:00I think seeing parents have the opportunity to be ...I think seeing parents have the opportunity to be grandparents is sometimes see the parents they might have been...if they were more emotionally aware, less stressed, etc. Not always, but sometimes. And, in a way, it is an opportunity to see things that might have happened when we were young children that we can't remember. I read that NYT article as well...and certainly as our definitions of family change, so should our celebrations of them.

While you were explaining your other male mentors in your life, I thought about the others who affected me. I had never really done that before, but I'm glad I did, there were others who helped me become who I am, and whether I like it or not, my father still played a huge role in who I've become. The soup sounds delicious.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712553731274873122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-4840946839370871592011-06-25T14:37:16.421-04:002011-06-25T14:37:16.421-04:00Blame FB for the brevity here: LIKE.Blame FB for the brevity here: LIKE.Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-10146098888392950002011-06-25T07:09:51.132-04:002011-06-25T07:09:51.132-04:00my father was NOT the man i wished he was for most...my father was NOT the man i wished he was for most of my life. he was an alcoholic, & a difficult person in the best of times. since becoming sober almost 4 years ago, i've watched him grow into a man i am proud to call my dad. i consider it one of the greatest gifts in my life to have an opportunity to watch him be the man with my children that i wish he could have been for my brother & me. ((hugs)) to you, & it is clear from the way you speak of your father, that while he may not have been a stereotypical american dad, that there is love & respect there. i'm sure he'd be proud to see who you've become.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610970477653618206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-60527537114269047092011-06-25T05:05:04.145-04:002011-06-25T05:05:04.145-04:00Amen to that. I understand what you're saying ...Amen to that. I understand what you're saying about the 'man he might have been'. It's devastating at first when they're not in the position that we so badly want them to be in, but then it just reaches a point where it's uncomfortable but bearable. I'm here from my second ICLW- that recipe looks absolutely yum, and that's saying something, considering I've never tried spinach. <br /><br />ICLW hugs and best wishes to you, <br /><br />CaseyCaseyhttp://navigatingcyberloss.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
