Reuniting With Father
March 9, 2008 by aj
What’s up everyone!
Sorry I’ve been MIA for the past couple of days, but my mind has been occupied with the impending visit of my father whom I’ve not seen in almost 30 years. Yes, he’s coming to see me this Tuesday and my emotions are all over the place along with my upset stomach. While on the surface my emotions range from joyous, excited and curious, I’m also having some internal feelings of apprehensiveness and vulnerability.
Please keep me in your prayers.
Good luck on meeting your father. Remember to be true to yourself.
@Texas - Thanks and I will. If I could only settle my nerves.
I know you have been working on this for a while now. Keep us updated on how it goes.

Got ya back sis
@Hicktown - Yes, it’s been a very looonnnnnggggg 4 months since the initial contact. Now all of a sudden it seems like yesterday.
@choc - Thanks for the hugs…I need many and I’ll definately need my breathing exercises along with a couple of glasses of wine! lol
@Marv - Thanks for the hugs and love. Keep sending positive vibes!
@Invisible - Glad to know my cyber sisters have my back! Thanks!
good luck. i’ll be waiting to hear how it goes.
Wow. I had a similar experience. Not so much not seeing my dad in three decades. My dad is a Vietnam Vet. So lets just say he picked up more than a few bad habbits when he got back. He and my mom were divorced when I was two and I saw him less and less frequently as I got older with a 4 and 6 year stint mixed in there.
Luckly enough was enough for him and he decided to finally get himself clean and will be enjoying his seventh year this June. The crazy thing is like a month or two before I got married he called me to reconnect with me. It had been like four years since we spoke but I swear to you it was the first lucid conversation we ever had. I was almost 27 years old.
Our relationship is not perfect. And neither is he. But he is my pop and tries hard to be as good of a person as he can be. Plus I know he loves me. Beats him being a jerk on purpose that is for sure. So good luck and I hope you find some happiness from the reunite. God Bless.
@Darkbro-Thanks…I’ll be sure to provide an update - once my mind gets back together - LOL.
@Tony - Wow, that’s a wonderful story. I’m glad you are able to have a positive relationship with your dad. It’ll be interesting to see if/how this thing progresses with mine.
Hey there, big day tomorrow! Just pray and be yourself and let God do the rest! I’m sure things will work out as ordained.
Peace & Love!
P.S. - you know how to reach me
