I wish I had something positive to say about my Dad. He drank, beat up my Mom, beat us up, never gave me a compliment. The only good days where days when he would be out drunk somewhere.

Well ,,, maybe there is one positive thing he did — he showed me what I shouldn’t be.

The writer, Terry, wrote an excellent article about Remembering his dad. I guess that there are a lot of us who have walked a path similar to Terry’s path. Hope, all is going well for you.

Brilliant. Touching. Heart Warming. Poignant. This article is more than just “a few words stitched together” about one of Life’s sad and often devastating events — the passing of a parent.

Terry, what makes your words so outstanding and memorable, is that your gifted talents as a writer “Par Excellence,” is that you have given voice by YOUR emotional and yet restrained words and thoughts, to those who THINK them but are unable to do it. That my fine friend, is a rare and valued gift. Given the subject matter and how skillfully you have conveyed and placed them on paper, might I highly recommend you also pitch publishing it to appropriate publications that focus on such matters of the heart.

The “End of Life” comes to us all eventually, and knowing how to bring some meaning to this by way of powerful, evocative and heart tugging words, is a gift only bestowed on a very few. Terry, with the appropriate pitch email or phone call, you should contact at least half a dozen leading consumer publications to run your article.

I hope you do it, and that the only answer acceptable to you from those you contact to publish your story, is YES.

Thanks for speaking for many of us Terry. Though the circumstances may be different, you depicted the universal affection of many of our Dads — imperfect yet loving in the best way they know how.
