I never ever heard my father utter the word LOVE . I’m sad to say that I think he never really loved any of his 6 kids , or his wife for that matter . He’s 77 now , and he and my mother have been seperated for about 20 years now . None of the family will have anything to do with him .

I’m happy to say that my daughter , 20 and a college student in Kyoto , sent me a father’s day card with a message that included the word LOVE at least a half a dozen times . The word LOVE is no stranger around THIS house .

Life is so short. After my father died, my mother had the job of raising three boys alone. Not knowing how to do it, she screamed a lot.

My other brothers have little contact with her, but years ago I was listening to a motivational speaker (FWIW Brian Tracy) and he clearly pointed out that my mother would not be around forever. I have sense redeveloped a relations with the one who gave me both life and a childhood of pain. It is better this way.

Please reach out to you dad before you cannot.

Talk is cheap. Some guys of your fathers generation knew that verbal expression came hard to a lot of men so they talked up the love thing and never actually did much else to back it up.

Your family voted with their feet. People don’t abandon someone they love. People don’t fail to love someone-however hard-who may not have SAID much but whose Love manifested itself in ACTION over years.

The subject of the article got off his ass for his family. He MANIFESTLY worried about how were and how they would turn out, and that is why his Men cried for him when he was gone.
