I spent the day with my youngest son,we delivered gifts to the nursing home,both of my parents are there.My father was an alcoholic and a very angry man,we have never been close.I sat by my mother's bed and watched her,she has dementia,I always cry when I see her.My father came over to me and hugged me tightly for a long time,he kissed me and said,I love you for the first time.I felt such warmth that I have never felt before and a little sadness that it never happened when I was a child,but when he was literally squeezing me I felt some healing between us.I said,I love you,dad.This has never happened before, and it was nice.
That is so beautiful honey. Moments like that I call forever treasures. We just let them exist and go inhale them whenever we need to where ever we are. Wishing you many many more.xx
I'm glad that you went to visit your parents with your daughter and experienced healing between you and your Dad. It won't make up for the past but the past is over and today is something you can cherish. I'm glad you are choosing to do that.
