My Father

Today is Father’s day, and while the majority of people around Australia , had the chance to do something with their fathers, mine was in another state doing his own thing.  It’s perfectly normal since my father has  always had his own thing going on.   I called him today and judging from his tone of his voice and how we interacted, I think he was happy to have heard from me.  While our relationship may not be that great and it’s not like your typical father-son relationship that you see in the movies (then again not everyone has that), he is still my father and I still respect him and listen to him as such.

He didn’t do the greatest job raising me but I did inherit some of the qualities which I have noticed as of late.  It seems that as I get older, I am more forgiving and probably more tolerant, which explains why I can talk to him without having to go into a burst of raw emotions.  Anyways here’s to my father and may he enjoy his day and whatever he got up to.

On another note this old man celebrated his birthday in style thanks to the anonymous folks at 4chan.   More of this story can be read here, and if this world had more people, who could put their heads together to brighten someone’s day, how awesome would this world be?
