[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 385426, member: 65"] Hi Janet, My Dad has always been a part of my life, but even with that, we had our problems. He raised me the way he was raised....your kids should just know that you love them, you tell them when they mess up. So I grew up thinking my Dad hated me, that I could never do anything to please him because I only heard the negative. Then my Ex left right before easy child was born and I moved in with my folks to give easy child stability. As easy child was growing up and I was explaining how I wanted him raised, my Dad and I talked. I told him that I wanted easy child to know that he was loved because I never felt love. My Dad cried. (first time I EVER saw him cry). Turns out, I've always been the apple of his eye. I wanted to tell you this because the first 25 years of my life, I had no relationship with my Dad. Now, he's one of my best friends. I choose not to dwell on the first 25 years but to celebrate the last 20 (okay...I'm old..haha). I'm grateful that my Dad and I got our acts together before it was too late. And I'm glad you have a relationship with your Daddy too. And as far as being "ready" for Daddy to leave???? I could 120 years old and I [U]still[/U] wouldn't be ready. I'm so sorry that you are losing him. {{{{{hugs}}}}} [/QUOTE]
