Father’s Dud?

I can think of only one reconciliation that’s better than making peace with our parents – no matter what evils they may have done. What a great example here, Mitch! Happy Father’s day, Dude

Yoo too, Roo! Or, rather, happy celebration of such with your family, that is (I realize you yourself are not actually a father).

Your post was great. Thanks for sharing. Actually, I believe the way out of the pain is to forgive those who’ve hurt you and let it go. Of course, if you’re like me, sometimes you have to remind yourself 7 times a day that as far as you’re concerned the slate has been wiped clean.

Forgiveness can sometimes be an ongoing process. Most days, I’m fine, but I must occasionally stop and forgive my dad all over again.

I understand. I’ve found praying for people (even those who’ve passed on) to be a particularly effective process–not necessarily fast, but effective.

As we say in the Army, “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast”. Forgiveness is never a fast process, and people need to understand that some old wounds will continue to haunt long after forgiveness is granted. There are people in my life I still have to forgive all over again.
