Father Comments

An emotional pour out. No, it is not necessary to let go, when we have learned the hard way to live our own life. Good write. A little too much of emotions. But, that happens!

nicely portrayed the family relation.. but it just the one face of the coin.. flip the coin and try see it from the fathers shoes, there may be completely new story... nice job Maria ;)

Unwritten Soul is right though. I realize it's hard to forgive an air-apparent father. I had one, and it took me 23 years to understand his past and why he couldn't be with me. I realize that everything happens for a reason. If I had grown up with my father I would have had less opportunities in life, less stability, and it might have been even harder for me to forgive him possibly. Since he was removed from me its alot easier to forgive him, because I don't know him like that. We are slowly but surely building a bond now, and it is worth it to get to know your father. He is half of what made you, and that's pretty important. I know not everyone can forgive, even in 20+ years, but is worth it if you can. It opens new doors, that in truth you've always wanted. Anger just covers hurt.

This is the statement I wae given when quite young... God gives us our relations but allows us to choose our friends,

I guess the mom was right, she knew what the best for her daughter...I dont think a father ever forgotten his daughter, lot of complicated stories that maybe hard for him to tell...i believed the father suffering too...and if he never wanted a child again, he will never come to you..I guess enough for him to know and hear word of Dad from his daughter, though its hard to be closer...but as blood bond two souls, i believed everything can be fine, just a bit forgiveness should give it away...and the door will be open with different key..different destiny..You wrote a very nice story, i can feel it..Is it true? about you? whatever dont let love fades away family always reborn in heart when it is ready to forgive_Soul

nice poem....thanks for inviting.....keep writing..and keep inviting

So many simply cannot get it out. Beautifully done. Deep and sad and flowing. Even in anger there is grace and style. good job Maria keep on writing.
