Day 09 → Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.

My father.  At the time I was too young to really know what was going on or what it would mean to our life when my parents got divorced.  Had I known that it would mean we would only see him every few years, and the random drunk calls he would send us, I would have tried more to see him.  Once I was old enough to do things on my own, I was in the Navy and in no way able to see him.

Drifted is a relative term I suppose, but he was gone in all but memory and the occasional phone call.

  1. Like you said… too young to understand so you cannot put yourself at fault. I’m sorry you didn’t get as much time with him growing up as you wanted.
