Having been in a typical divorced family setting, my father was hardly ever around in my younger years growing up. Over the past few years we have gotten alot closer, it mostly started when my grandmother died. I have really enjoyed getting to know him, and letting him get to know me.
Family is forever, especially parents. Just think if something terrible happened and you didn't have a chance to say goodbye. I would image that would be a terrible void you would have to live with the rest of your life.
I know that if and when I have children, I will strive to create and keep a strong and dear relationship to them regardless of what happens.
You only live once!
