Tell him

Published on July 24, 2006 By dharmagrl In Misc

I've spent a while crying this morning and wishing that I could talk to my dad just one last time. I don't know exactly what I'd say to him, but I do know that I'd tell him I love him.

I have a request for all of you who read this and have dads: call him, and tell him that you love him. Appreciate the time that you have with him; appreciate being able to hear his voice. Tell him about my request if you like, and if you don't like I don't mind. Just talking to him is enough for me.

He knew, by the way. My dad knew that I loved him. I made sure of that.

My Father died 5 years ago. I had not spoken to him since I was 5. But looking back, if I had known, I would have talked to him. Although I cant say I would have told him I loved him.

Next week I'll see my dad for the first time in 2 years... we talk almost every week, and I we always exchange "I Love You"s... In honor of you and your dad, mine will get an extra big hug.

I will be seeing my Dad this weekend. Even though we talk at least once a week, it is not as good as sharing time with him.

Before my dad killed himself, I made sure he knew I loved him. I had no idea how sad he was though. I sure miss him...the "happy" him.

I know what you mean

I used to be able to pick up the phone and call my dad "just to talk." But after he died and that telephone urge set in again, that's when the realization hit me that I could never talk to him again.

Hang in there dharma. The "universe" is in your favor and your love is eternal. I know your dad is feeling your love for him

There's not much one can say in times like this, dharma...

Just know that we are thinking of you and your family, and that you are in our prayers.

I just went and gave my Dad an extra big hug and kiss, thanks for making me appreciate him even more. My thoughts are with you hun.

My dad died last year. I watched him rot away from alcoholism in a nursing home. He abused me my whole life and is responsible for me being the fucked up mess that I am today. I didn`t tell my dad I loved him because I most certainly did not. I have story after story about what an asshole he was. I watched him beat my mother and sister and he even hit his own mother. It was fun watching him slowly suffocate to death in the nursing home.

To err is human; to forgive is divine.

I've typed and deleted a few times, trying to figure out what to say to you. I've decided that it's better to be frank and brutally honest.

I think you're a fucking cunt to come here and say something like that when it's obvious from this article that I've just lost my dad. Fuck off, and don't come back.

That's a really disgusting thing to do whoever you are. Geech! Write your own friggin blog then and vent but don't come here and do this to someone who doesn't need your type of bullshit right now!

Dharm girl,
Don`t be mad at me for my reply. You invite these things when you put a blog on the world wide web. If you can`t take the heat then you go away and never come back. Unlike you I won`t use the profanity of a junior high school student.

There is such a thing as intelligence, and discretion. You have neither. You invite comparisons to ameobas with your lack of discretion and intelligence. There is a time and place for everything, and you aint smart enough to know the difference.

Yeah, and you invite the comments of what a trailer trash ignoramus you are for polluting someone's blog with your nasty reply. So don't get mad at dharma for responding to you, libby. If you have hard feelings with your dad, too bad. Deal with it. That gives you something in common with a few million other folks. But DON'T pollute someone else's blog with your garbage.
