My Father’s Shoes
My Father has a system about caring for his shoes…..amongst other things
it was quite a procedure
He was a quirky guy…. that embraced his peculiarities……. It was who and what he was
It’s quite common to hear people nowadays call their their family as “ dysfunctional”
my father’s home life was a zoo
3 alcoholics in the same house ……. Chaos
But he avoided that trap but by association had many of the byproducts
He was determined to make something of himself and walk a different road them his brothers
He was methodical, detailed oriented and a seeker of perfection in any tasks at hand
He had a strong faith and struggled to be intimate with his children…. But we were sure he loved us
my Father was respected for his honesty and dedication to certain principles
I have a tendency to exhibit my Father temper and he dealt with mental illness as best he could but was bent on “dealing with it his way “ which dogged him his whole life
I could never fill my Father’s Shoes and he wouldn’t want me to try
I just remember that he was a man trying to keep and maintain a relationship with God and doing the best he could…….thanks Pop
