My father, my friend
To this day, my dad can be incredibly hard on himself. I think he sometimes questions my upbringing and thinks to hard on what he could and should have done. When I was younger, especially a teenager, I could have pointed out all the ways I thought my dad wasn’t being fair, or that he was mean. But now that I’m an adult, I’ve come to see how much he really did for me, and taught me; both in what he gave me and what he didn’t. So when I hear my dad being hard on himself, I always pause and think, could I have told him he was better more? And the irony is, that both of us tend to overthink it; we dont realize that we’ve probably taught each other a lot more then we could have ever imagined.

Hats Off To You Dad!
What is a father? A father in my opinion is anyone who was able to provide the energy to balance the masculine energy within you. We are taught that we are male or female based on the body we are born into. New age teachings, which is basically a urecycling of ancient teachings, indicates though we are male and female we do carry the energies of both within us. Feminine energy governs our emotions and masculine energy governs our survival; atleast that is my interpretation of it all because it makes sense.

Thank you father
Thank you father for being the help that gave birth to me, to have me come into such a beautiful, natural world with nature and human-made wonders all around me. Thank you for being by my side all these years and teaching me lessons about life in your own special way. As I grow older now, I see things more clearly from your perspective, although I resented them for quite a long time. I see where things went wrong and I see how you thought what you did was right and how you hold onto your arrogance that you are right through all that you have done for the family.

Dear Dad
Dear Dad, It’s Father’s Day again. I stare at the bright card display in Walgreen’s, the conveniently placed gift cards for Lowes and Cabela’s enticing me to reach for them. I pick up a card. Open it. “Thanks for being the best dad ever” it reads in a bold font. I want to buy it. I want more than anything to buy it. To mean it. But it would be a lie.
