A CONVERSATION WITH MY DEAD FATHER
I, too, lost my Dad about six years ago and it still hurts. Without my father I felt less safe, as if the family lion, the protector was gone. Even though I had a husband and children of my own, he was my protector.
I was the son he never had, sort of, (he was blessed with three daughters, every man should be so lucky), we adored him, the way he looked, the way he moved and he knew it.
But I was like a son, I guess, because I pretended I wasn't afraid of him. In fact a few months before he died, somewhat suddenly, we were talking and he asked, "Weren't you afraid of me when you were growing up?" Chin jutting out, I said, "No," as not to give him the satisfaction.
Liar. He could be scary. Hear that Dad, I was scared of you. Missing you, always.
