In spite of his flaws my sisters and I worked very hard to keep our father alive because he was a life giving force in our world who we knew would always take care of us as kids and would help us out when we needed it when we were adults. We argued with him and attacked his flaws, but at the same time we tried to convey to him he was valuable. How bad I feel for those who did not have a chance to know their father and have missed him all their lives. I am sure you are the better for valuing your father even when you could not know him, which is valuing a father's imput, a father's role in the life of the young. if we don't value the father's imput, we are too apt not to help fathers who get in trouble, discouraged, abuse substances, etc, in other words fathers with serious flaws but still with some good within that needs to be valued so that father can find his way again. Even when I see fathers committing murder and killing themselves as we have had here lately, a rash of murders involving wives and even children, I think we as a society must work harder to get at the core reasons for these terrible outbreaks or worse will follow.Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771917880182186281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-76062147959936681962009-06-05T10:59:11.267-04:002009-06-05T10:59:11.267-04:00DB,what an increbile loss..we never stop thinking ...DB,what an increbile loss..we never stop thinking about what could have been do we?<br />Was your friend perhaps trying to put across that n a random universe our thoughts have no affect on the outcome on of events in our lives?
