Comments on: Part 2– Dad’s Visit http://stepherz.com/2009/07/18/part-2-dads-visit/ “In the South, perhaps more than any other region, we go back to our home in dreams and memories, hoping it remains what it was on a lazy, still summer’s day twenty years ago.”—-Willie Morris Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:54:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Meghan http://stepherz.com/2009/07/18/part-2-dads-visit/#comment-10440 Meghan Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:53:35 +0000 http://stepherz.com/2009/07/18/part-2-dads-visit/#comment-10440 I have so much to say, but probably better suited to an email. For now, I'll just tell you I adore you and that I wish you had grown up with (and still had) the parental love, pride and adoration you TRULY deserve.

Smart for you to have figured out a way to be diplomatic and kind and yet keep safe distance. I always tell Jeremy that the best thing I got from my dad was you, Chanda. :-) I remember as a youngster that if I had 2 weeks with dad and you stayed for the first week, I would go into this severe homesickness shock and Dad would send me back to my mom. Lol! He got wise to it though and started letting you come over for the second week. Lol. I understand, Chanda.

It is always hard when old memories and feelings are brought to the surface, especially by our own family. That is one reason I chose to avoid certain particular family, for my own sanity and self preservation. Good for you for trying to maintain a friendly relationship.
