One of the reasons I was so hit so extremely hard by my father's death last year, adding to my depression. He had never abandoned me in his life. He was always there. The rock.
Well, I have to be my own rock now. And it's about time!
So glad to hear that your father was always there for you. I got goosebumps reading this. Your father was your rock. How awesome is that! This is what fathers are supposed to be. The lighthouse in the storm, the warm blanket on a cold night, the shelter from the rain, the shoulder to cry on, the strong arms around you when you are afraid. Good for him. I can tell you loved him very much. He taught you how to be that rock and it is serving you well.
As a typed this, it made me think that this may be one of the reasons that my own W is distancing from her father. He was the rock as well. A very fallible and imperfect rock, but he was always there. In her current MLC fog, everything stable seems to be scary. She has run to her mother and other unstable friends.
I love reading you Pud. Made me have warm fuzzy thoughts for my dad that I lost in 2007. I needed that. Thanks.
