My Father was not the best in the world to me. What is funny is that I can remember a time when I was about ten years old and he told me. Jr. you know you can tell me anything that you want, I don't care how it comes out. That was my outlet with my father from then till this day. We have argued and fussed and fought. But there was nothing like him stepping up for one day when he thought that I was going to die. He literally did everything for me ... I think he felt a tad guilty. I still love him today, but I am still caught telling him exactly how I feel about everything. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Remember, <BR/><BR/>"The future is more promising once you acknowledge that it, to you, is not promised"The Divohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04296840248399309475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548536.post-1121734887640380552005-07-18T21:01:00.000-04:002005-07-18T21:01:00.000-04:00wow... your story sounds like mine almost... my po...wow... your story sounds like mine almost... my pops lived literally two blocks away... but I knew who he was... he never came to visit us or take us out or contribute a single thing. <BR/><BR/>Once he sent me a box of random azz dollar toys at xmas... like matchbox cars or some shyt... mind you I was like 13 or so at the time... lol<BR/><BR/>I have a half sister I met only once when I was 10...

That's the kinds of father I want to be.<BR/><BR/>I don't understand how a man can just go thru life knowing and not caring that something --<B>someone</B>--that he made is walking around living and breathing without any help from him??!!?<BR/><BR/>I am the oldest of my biological father's 5 sons and he stopped dealing with me about age 15 because of my sexuality. Recently I was reunited with one of his sons with my stepmother... and imagine my delight in discovering that my younger brother is gay, too! There's no escaping that one for Pops!

No wonder they always sent me out to play we they were talking. You know how southern women always say that children need to "stay out of grown folks' conversations". By the way, when our family story becomes a movie, I want Darrin Dewitt Henson from Soul Food to play me. And I'll be more than happy to "coach" him and help him get into character!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548536.post-1121527795453839472005-07-16T11:29:00.000-04:002005-07-16T11:29:00.000-04:00I agree w/Rashid - it would make for an interestin...I agree w/Rashid - it would make for an interesting novel. Boy, we should get together, all us bloggers and write a fire ass book, we could do a 55 city National Tour and EVERYTHING!<BR/><BR/>It's hard for me too. I saw my father about 5 times in my entire life and he died when I was 19. This past Father's Day I was at church, I remember the pastor saying for all the Father's the please stand. Well, of course women stood up too. He got them right together and told them to sit down because no woman could take the place of a man. He then told them something I swear I'll never forget. He said, "You women need to stop putting down these dead beat fathers...you slept with them."<BR/><BR/>Till We Meet Again,<BR/>The ChurchBoyThe Church Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00009631982328227331noreply@blogger.com
