Homesick

// June 21st, 2009 // My Confessions, My Life, My Thoughts

Today was Fathers day, and all the days leading up to Fathers day my thoughts have wandered to thinking about my Dad, It has been over 2 years since I have seen him. I think about how my brother and I – his two oldest sons-  have moved away to start a life of our own. We are busy with our families, our careers, our lives… I see pictures of my new brother-in-laws and my youngest brother where my pictures used to be… helping, building, being sons. being good sons!  while I love my brother-in-laws as much as any brother, a part of me feels like I should be there helping, being a son, watching my parents grow older, surrounded by neices and nephews…  But I am over 14 hours away.

The older I get the more value I place on family and relationships, and the less I value all the stuff that gets in the way of family- and relationships.   So today I am homesick,  wishing I could hop in the car and drive across town and hang out with my dad on the front porch and really spend some time… because love is not calling once a year to say happy Fathers Day,  It is so…. so much more.

Happy Fathers Day Dad…

Your Bald Sappy Son!

    We miss you all so much! We have forced ourselves to be happy, even with you two so far away, knowing that you are happy where you are. I couldn’t ask for more- except selfishly.
    I can hardly wait to see you all!!!

    Jason, Love your heart. Some young men in our society are so focused on doing their own stuff that they neglect the value of family. They run to and thro looking for satisfaction and not finding it. If they would just slow down they would realize that real satisfaction is found in their family.

    I had the opportunity to spend Sunday with my daughter. I did not get a card or a gift but I got what is important and that is a closer relationship with her.
