Reminds me a little of my dad, who died 12 years ago. We also connected through politics, and although I thought his yelling at politicians on the TV screen was pointless, I now find myself doing it, along with many other things he did. LOL.

It can be challenging as a daughter, to be the mom to our own young families and still be there for our own parents. It’s wonderful that you have been able to reconnect to father in such a sweet and loving way. I’m sure these will be memories you cherish for a lifetime.

And isn’t it wonderful to have a second chance to bond with your father? Maybe not in the way you’d have liked, but it’s an opportunity that might not have been found otherwise. And a chance to deepen your love for each other. So love this post, Mel.

Dads are sometimes like that, aren’t they. They don’t love us any less but yet there’s that emotional connection that we didn’t grow up with. I’m still weaving mine with dad so, I know exactly what you mean.

My abuela had dimentia and she never lost the storytelling/sense of humor until she became non-verbal.  And even then, she could speak clearly with her eyes.  Thank you for sharing your story and allowing us to see the close bond that you have now woven with your father! {{{hugs}}}
