A Father's Day Meditation

I miss my Dad all the time, but more so around Father's Day. We didn't speak, or rather, I didn't speak to him for nearly 15 years. My dear cousin Jane finally got through my stubbornness, reminding me yet again that he wouldn't always be with us and I reconciled with him a couple years before he went on to the next chapter.

Daddy never stopped loving me, never stopped trying to reconnect, never stopped being proud of me. We all make mistakes in our lives and fortunately, we were each able to forgive and get past them to reaffirm our love for each other as parent and child.

In the days around his funeral, I repeatedly received private eulogies to my dad from all the people he'd mentored and whose lives were changed for knowing him. What an incredible legacy to carry with me always.

So, I wanted to share a little of what I learned from my Dad. Right now this is a Quicktime moviet, but please don't let that stop you. And, when we get it converted into Flash, I'll alert the media!
