My TToT post is about my father, who is still alive but facing death. Like you, my relationship with my father wasn't so great when I was an adolescent, but we found our way to love again. <br /><br />I totally agree with what you say "you can’t know what it’s like to be someone else, walk in their shoes, live through everything they have lived through." I didn't appreciate this when I was young, but I definitely get it now. <br /><br />This is a lovely, heartfelt tribute to your father.

And very, very true. I...Thanks for sharing this :)<br /><br />And very, very true. I think we all have imperfect parents, and we learn to love them for who they are. And it's important for parents to give their kids chances to be themselves and make their own life choices, otherwise the kids end up feeling very isolated.<br /><br />My parents are also always at the opposite end of any argument. Seriously, take any issue, and they would completely disagree on which side to be on. Most of it is silly things, so it's quite funny sometimes.none providedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14739841706450523666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221717568608371907.post-3116828624052633082013-06-19T09:39:43.579-07:002013-06-19T09:39:43.579-07:00Thanks, and I know what you mean.
