Okay all fb friends and family. As you know, I occasionally vent on here but this time, it is not venting... it is truth. All my genuine fb friends and family who truly know me, know that I would not go through this much trouble to just express feelings. All my life, I have been fortunate to have my father and mother together raise me. My father is a quiet, stoic, strong, hard-working man. He is not perfect, as none of us are, but he is a good and honest man. And he may not vocalize his relationship with the Lord, but he really does not express his feelings with anyone for that matter. He was raised old-school, and in those days, such expression was just unacceptable. He was raised to work, work, work, work outside, and go home. And that is what he has done his whole life. It is all he knows to do. He has never known how to go to the beach and have a good time. He has never known how to go fishing or hunting. He was always striving to provide for his family and never made time for himself. But for all of us, his children, he has always loved and provided. Even when we have wronged him, or upset him, he still has always, and will always love all six of us. He even loves others that are not his children, who he looks at like his own. My father has been fortunate to have a few good friends throughout his life that truly know him and know who he is. Regardless if others say different... including one of his children. I will not judge, as it teaches in the Bible, but I will say that our father loves you. Always has, always will. You, too are one of his babies. And I can honestly say that I will never understand why you will never cease to bad mouth him. From shortly after his heart attack, to now. Our father is getting older, and I know he would still like to have you in his life. None of us know how much time any of us will have. I know he would like to live a normal life with you in it... one without manipulations or lies. To love you honestly like a good father would. You are angry, and I do not even think you are truly angry with our father. You are taking all of those lost years, the emptiness, and your anger out on him. That is all you have known to do your whole life. But, I will tell you, you need to let go of anger. It will darken your heart and it will grow until it is in every part of your life. Who will you be angry with after Dad is gone? Who will be to blame? I know you will probably never see this, since we are not friends on here, but I sincerely hope that you will. You and I have also had our "falling out". But I am here to say is that I forgive you for all of it between me and you. But, I cannot forgive what you are doing to our father, who is already not in the greatest of health. It is not up to me to forgive for that. Even with all of this, I still hope your life is good, and that you do well. Let go and let God continue to bless you.
