A Portrait of my Father

0
0


I hadn’t planned to write a post about my father…especially so soon after one featuring my mother.  However, when life intervenes, things change…

Last Friday, my father had a heart attack. He is now in the hospital. And today he is undergoing a procedure to find out more. As I write this, I wait to hear the news.

My father is a conundrum in many, many ways.  He was at one time an electrical engineer and designed computer chips for IBM.  He is now a Reiki Master and massage therapist and regularly swims in the sea.  He is complex.  He likes to grow things in his garden.  He can be quite demanding and stubborn, but he can also be very understanding about the most unusual things.  His view of the universe is multi-faceted.

My father and I have had a rocky relationship over the years. But we have weathered our storms and come out the other side. I spent lots of time this weekend remembering and went looking for these images in my library.  They were taken just over a year ago when my father was digging in the garden, planting a rose bush for my sister. I love the way his happiness glows from his face.

If you have a moment, please send a wish, a thought a prayer out to the universe that my father recovers and goes on to do more of all that he loves.  I know he would appreciate it.
