Last year I gave my dad a hug for the first time in almost 20 years. It broke down a lot of the walls that had been built up between us.
I don't even know you except for what you post on here, but I'm proud of you. I've been there, and I know how hard it can be. I'm just glad every day that my dad is alive and healthy.
You've got some excellent karma these days...
ticket prices are actually the same to go to the uk with advance notice or to go to like PDX with a couple days notice. how weird is THAT? only about 7500 mi. flight difference.
I'm not amazing like Thorien, but once I was a Loserboy with a bastard for a father, now I'm a demon with a bastard for a father. Not having one, I know the value of a father, I'm glad you got connect with yours, more than I could ever hope for or even dream of, at least not anymore.
