My dad sat on his chair just sitting not moving at all, I then slowly walked over to him and he slowly raised his head. He looked ill and was paler than usual.
Dad: I never meant...any of it..
Me: I know... ( I nodded I continued to look at him and then to my hands).
Dad: If your Mom was here she'd probably know what to say but I guess I haven't been there for you( His eyes looked sad).
I had never seen my father like this not ever, his clothes looked like he had slept in the them and his usually perfect sitting hair was messed up like someone who had been holding his head in worry for days.
Me: Maybe (I nodded) but Moms not here so we have to help eachother out little more
He then looks up at me and then stands to walk towards me.
Dad: I promise to try more, I just want make things better
Me: I know and you will, I love you Dad
Dad: I happy your here and with me don't even forget that ( His eyes soft yet serious).
Me: I won't ( I smile).
I then walk into my fathers arms and hug him back with happiness. People could change I knew that and hopfully he would because without him or my brother I wouldn't be me.
He then stood up and pulled me into a hug which was comforting.
Dad:I promise...that from now on I'll listen more to you and be there.
I loved my father I mean he was therefore me my whole life. I just hoped he kept to his word I mean I knew he would. I was glad to be home with him and for one knowing that he did love me even though he found it hard to show it he did.
