Grateful For Time Spent Together!

Some time has passed and life has been great with my father!  He is finally slowly becoming his old self again, or “recalled back to life” as Mr. Lorry calls it.  Being in prison for eighteen years has certainly had a tremendous effect on my father.  He is very quiet and soft spoken.  I have also noticed that he is uncomfortable around people.  However, he is progressing very well and rarely has relapse episodes anymore.  He doesn’t’ like to talk much about his past, but I know when he is ready to talk about it, he will.  I myself am finally getting used to this new lifestyle as well.  It is different to have a father there for you and to have someone to care for and live with other than Miss Pross.  It is hard to remember what my life was like before my father was in it, but I would never ask for my old life back.  I love my new one and can’t believe I didn’t have this before.  My father and I have a lot of good bonding times and are always together.  We are almost inseparable!  I love him so much and always remind him that I do.   I heard this quote the other day and wanted to write down my thoughts about it.  “ Bad things happen so better things can fall together.” This quote made me realize that all the bad things that have happened to me in the past, such as not having a father or mother have helped prepare me for this specific point in my life.  I believe the bond between my father and I is stronger because of the separation we had throughout our lives!
