| Just my younger sister. My olde sister has been within 20 miles of me over the years and never contacted me. I haven’t seen either of them since my father’s funeral, which surprisingly hit me hard, in 02. There was no service for my mother 2 years ago.
My father did have some kind words for my younger sister, when he was on his deathbed. He told her she was pretty, touched her face, and told her he loved her. I’m very happy for her for that.
I never heard that from either of my parents nor do I have any memory of hugging them.
I don’t tell this for pity. I’m not very bothered by it. People are people and have their various issues. We should be understanding and cut them what slack we can.
Anyone who reads this can do me, themselves, and their children a favor and tell them, with heartfelt meaning, that they love them, care for them, and are proud of them.
We can all be better people than we are.

Things you did that your dad ridiculed/made fun of that worked out really well for you in the end?
