Yesterday was my Dad's Birthday

He has been gone 5 years.  The day was just another day.  Fortunately.

I do not feel anything except empathy for my grandmother and my brother...and I guess my siter.  I do not know what she feels exactly, but in the past we have had similar conflicted feelings about it.

It is complicated.

  1. I can understand the complicated feelings. My real dad was not there for me at all. My half sister was closer to him, so she misses him a bit.

  2. Same way for our family. Dad was gruff and dictatorial for me and my sister's childhood, then he was a big soft teddy bear for my half brother. It is like we had completely different dad.
