A father who was totally indifferent to his son growing up is something
that took a long time to understand.
Later in life, I never approached him about it & why he was like that.
What good would it have done now, except probably make him feel guilty.
He left this world knowing that I was with him towards the end.
There was tears in his eyes & although he could no longer speak,
he smiled & closed his eyes forever.
Although I was sad, I had no tears at the time.
It was just a matter of fact.
It was not until much later that I did cry.
Not sure if they were tears for my father or myself,
probably for both.
