Damn, girl, you have a remarkable talent for reducing "tough guys" to tears. I so relate to this post. It's a long and painful story, but I was alienated from my father for many years. Thankfully, we reconciled and had a few good years before he died (2019). Now, I'm an aging parent myself (67) watching my own children watch me grow old (we married and had kids late). My dad was a lot like yours... and I am a lot like him. This was in fact one of the most profound blogs you've written. Damnit.
