Long lost Dad

Corbett | March 4, 2003 7:16 AM

This should be a very interesting week. My father will be visiting me for a while. For most people this is quite a normal event in life. "Hey Dad, why don't you come over for a visit?" But for me it's a little different. This'll be the third time in my life I've seen my father. First when I was 15, again at 21, and now when I'm 37. Past meetings lasted for a week or so, and included table conversations, a few beers, and a lot of piecing together his 80 years with my 37. I have an odd feeling of excitement and apprehension, and most of the things I wanted desperately to talk about when I was a kid have lost their urgency. All that matters now is to see my old man again and spend some time with him. Tell him I'm ok about the cards I was dealt. That family can get together after all these years. It's been a long time.
