It's a sad fact that we usually don't know how many people count themselves as our friends until we're dead--and then it's too late to do anything about it. But at least you were able to see how much of an affect your Dad had--and I'm sure that's changed your life in a host of ways.utenzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988445461413550750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10194064.post-1126295803412458062005-09-09T14:56:00.000-05:002005-09-09T14:56:00.000-05:00wow!

I like your blog and especially your subtitle "you have no right to set up standards and ideals for other people".<BR/><BR/>As for this post kind of the same thing is happening to a friend of mine now. His mother has died, and due to this his relationship with his father has exacerbated. It's of course different from when your father died, but what I mean is that when a person joins the family (as with a baby) or goes, the relations between all other members change.Emmanuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267062406813354744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10194064.post-1126264864627832482005-09-09T06:21:00.000-05:002005-09-09T06:21:00.000-05:00Thank you for sharing that story Judy.
