> I'm sorry gadchik,
> Do you know anything about him?I knew that he had polio when he was young,that he was very tall,that he liked to sing and play guitar,and that unfortunately,he couldnt be a father.I sometimes think of who I might be if Id had parents that adored me,encouraged me.But that kind of thinking leads to self pity,so I focus on my son,and I believe I gave him all the good stuff I didnt get,not things,but emotional solid ground.Thanks for asking,Im glad you are talking to your dad.I try to think of the things that shaped our parents,and to forgive them.
