*Fatherly Love*
When i was kid i always urge for that fatherly love that all my friends had . see i never really knew my dad when i was younger he was never there for me . i can remember when i was about 12 years old when i first seen my face to face instead of a picture that my mother will always show me i was so scared to speak to him me and my mom was going to walmart and i just happen to remember his face from a picture my mom had shown me ... "She yelled his name and motioned him to us " i gotten mad because i was totally scared to see him or talk to him in person . i thought about running but my feet wouldnt move its like the pavement had gotten wet and i was stuck in it. she kept yelling his name till he turned around wow i thought to myself my 10 year old brother at the time looked just like him kinda identical expect my brother had long hair . but as i was trying to figure out what to say to him if he come to us. should i yell and scream at him for not being there for us . or should i hug him and embrace his fatherly love i realzied that i wanted him in my life . he was my dad we might have not known eachother but right now can be the begining of our father daughter relationship ..... but suddenly he turned back around and never looked back.....

That's a powerful post, Laquita. I like the image of your feet stuck in concrete.
ReplyDeleteThere will always be that feeling of confusion on just what to do when seeing your dad for the first time. A part of you wants to embrace him and make up for lost time, but another part can be shut off from him, as if you dont want to talk to him or as if you are scared. I have not yet had the pleasure of gettin an option. Great post!
