I lost my Dad last year. Due to bad health & circumstances he turned to alcohol when I was a kid & it made him a hard stern man. He softened as I got older, but by then I was busy with my own children, and he had moved further away, I never got to see him as much. I realized after his death I missed out on so much. He was a really interesting guy. But the frightened 12 year old in me couldn't get by the memories of his anger.
He is at rest now, he had a hard life, and he slipped away peacefully. For that I'm grateful. I hope I get another chance one day to get to know the man behind the Dad.
