Since Father's Day will be Sunday it is fitting that we should "honor" Fathers.
My parents died before I was six weeks old and I was raised from the time I was 7 yrs. old by my maternal Grandfather, Papa. He was born in 1889 and died when I was 20...I cannot tell you how much he taught me about life, people and how to be confident and sure. He was remarkable. A very progressive man...belived strongly in education. I hope you do not think that I am "strange" if I tell you I still can "talk" to him and feel that he has never left me. I will be 47 in a couple weeks and find it hard to belive that he has been gone that long.
Never having known a "biological" father, I can't imagine
that my feelings would be any different...lesser or more.
It is more then bonding or imprinting...it is respect and love and knowing that it always exists.
