How's going with your dad? If your father is alive, how do you relate to him? What does your father do with your questions? What do you do together? What do you wish you did?
As I ask these few questions, and now it's time to do something with what is being stirred up when you think about your father. Are you ticked, sad, "whatever", skeptical you'll ever have a 'warm' connection with your dad? Has he already passed on?
I suppose there is an imprint on your soul and mine. Some of us have scars we can touch. Some of us hear hurtful words. Some of us did have engaged, forgiving and warm fathers. If you are 1 or 2 standard deviations from the norm, you have no really deep scars. The rest of us vacillate from annoyed, bitter, or checked out in our response to, "How's your connection with your dad?" Some of you were orphaned, some abandoned, some cut off from your dad by your mother's relationship with him, and their junk kept you from getting to know him. Three friends come to my mind right now, who are deeply impacted by the absence of their father. So, how's going with your dad? What questions are you asking now that you've read this. What or who are you remembering?
