My brother my dad's only son finally went to see my dad after many long years having nothing really to do w/ him! I am so happy that this has happened. It was time for them to mend fences & maybe create a new bond.
It seems so hard for me to see that he couldn't reconcile w/ my Dad until Tues. but at least it has been done. It really was a good time too because as most of you know my step-mom died Sunday suddenly. And, my Dad has cancer so my brother's prescence will hopefully ease my dad's mind.
Thanks to all of you who follow me. The posts are so special at this time in my life--you all mean so much to me!
Not only will it help your dad it will help you too. I'm glad they can get some peace between them.
Hugs p :)

I am sure you are thrilled because your father said he wanted this.
When my own mother died, although it was inevitable the surge of emotions was pretty hard to deal with. I thought I had prepared for years but there is nothing like the time when it happens.
My prayers are with you and I hope you will find time to post and keep us all up to date on what is going on.
(((Kathleen)) I'm glad to hear your brother and Dad are coming to terms with one another. It's too bad that it took the death of your step-mom to make it happen. But if something good comes out of it, that is something to be thankful for. You and your family continue to be in my prayers. Thanks for keeping us posted.
