Happy Fathers Day.....Mom

Fathers Day: Growing up, we did not have Fathers Day. My Father left when I was 13 to start a new family. If my father was Darth Vader, the rebels would not stand a chance! Like Luke Skywalker, I tried to find the good in him, that light did flicker once or twice. His armor was forged with the toughest steel unable to see that a Son required his attention with open, yet empty arms. Almost a year ago, I watched with anger and sorrow a man dying slowly on his death bed. I whispered in his ear waiting for a response that I would hope I would hear for the first time....it never came. He was to weak to say words that some people take for granted. The anniversary of his death is near, I sorrow for him as he had the chance of a lifetime to raise a Son. That honor goes to my Mother who stood by her children and continues to do so. Happy Fathers Day Mom.......
