i got an E-mail saying that
you were dying
by the time i read it
you had
and i felt
nothing
you weren't my friend
you were never there for me
you were mean
physically and emotionally you
were abusive
to me
to everyone

yet i will pray for you
pray that you have been shown
your life
like watching a movie
hoping
you are sorry now
for all the things you never
were sorry for before
i can forgive
but i will never forget

i'm sorry too
sorry i couldn't even be sad
sorry i can't spare one tear
all were spent many years ago
i've none left to give you
dad....

The truth is sometimes the hardest thing to say Caryn .
Feel for You....Not for Him
Love

Oh my Sweetie Girl,

I know the pain and abuse, God, you must feel 'weird'. My abusing Dad died last year and it was a relief, strange and believe it or not I felt some guilt. Trust me, the ones that cross over do have a review of their life and he will see his as well. I'll pray that he comes to terms, forgives himself as he sees the pain he injected into you. I am praying for the entire family.

BTW, you look damn good girl, woo-hoo. ;) Kudos on all of your accomplishments, you sure as hell deserve them and more. Love to you my friend.

Love & Peace, Janet xoxoxo

Yikes, can i relate to this one, whoa, but with the Mom, not the Dad.

It's hard, hurts so much sometimes, I've written a few times about this thing too, it helps, and thats what i love about writing.
Take care

Heartfelt write. One many of us can relate to. You touched it. I felt exactly the same way.
Thank You for sharing.

Love, Bonnie

I feel the pain in this one more than I'm willing to admit. My father has not been well for some time, and I'm torn, wondering what I'll feel when his time comes. ('Course, I already know what I feel; I suppose it's more the wonderment of how I'll deal with those emotions.)

A brutally honest write, so well expressed, Caryn. I'll pray that your pain is eased somehow.

Hugs,
Tami

Caryn, I wouldn't be sorry you couldn't feel sad for the person. You probably did all you could when the person was living. I've been through the same thing more than once. Some people just don't know how to love or have compassion for other human beings.
Great to read you stranger, Come and see me some time? hee, hee, my den.
