Me and My dad haven't spoken properly for about 15 years or so now even though he lives with me. About 3 years ago, he asked me why I never speak to him. I couldn't answer him so he told me to write a letter about how I felt if I found it easier.
Since then he has been on my case non stop to answer why I don't speak to him. And today. July 23rd 2012. I finally plucked up the guts to read the letter had I write for him.
During reading it I cried a lot because It hurts me that I cant talk my dad like I should be able to. But I read it to him. And after I was done. He wipes a tear from his eye, looked up at me and he simply said "thank you Nathan for telling me. That's al I ever wanted to know".
But being the person I am, I asked my dad "Can I just ask one thing? Can I have hug?" and with those words, my dad rose from his chair, held his arms out and I ran into them with great force. I cried non stop for about 10 minutes in his arms but just because of how much I generally love my dad.
I just wanted to share this very important moment with you all. Seeing as this my second home now. Thank you for listening.
