Shadows of Our Fathers - Reconciliation
Contributed by: Kevin Platts   on 8/20/2007

So, throughout my life, I really have not been close to my father at all. As I said previously, this was partially because my father did not make an effort and partially because I was so bitter I refused to have a relationship with him.

Now, as we have both gotten older, it appears we now see the error of our ways. As a matter of fact, I like to believe I work hard to be a good son each and every day now. As an example, my mother was gravely ill a couple years ago. Unfortunately, she eventually succumbed to her illness. Not too long ago, I learned that my father returned to work just to ensure he could payoff the medical bills from my mother's illness.

Although I thought this was brave, I also thought my father, who is in his 70s, deserved to relax for the first time in over fifty years. Because of this, I am now in the process of buying my father's house from him. This will give him the cash he needs to pay off all his bills and will finally allow him to relax and enjoy the rest of his life.

Reconciliation is nice!!
