Where is he?
Albert Warner?
For all of my mothers life her real dad was absent. I don’t believe I’ve imagined what chaos this caused in her life , and how it affected the rest of her family To all the absent dads out there, serious shame on you making a little girl wonder where you are, what she did to keep you away. No excuse is good enough and if you let your now present wife or girlfriend keep you away from your child then I wonder who wears the pants in the family.
At 16, Albert, she tried to see you and connect with you and you turned her away, more rejection. I don’t know a whole lot of other things about you other than in my impression you were a coward and I was thrilled when I found out she stomped on your grave. It was her way of letting the heartache go and letting you know the hurt you caused in her life. I sit with joy when I think of that, that was her way of releasing you from her life.
Possibly you could have changed all of our lives, just by being there, for taking ownership in your part of your exhale in a shuddering release of ectasy. A young parent yes, inexperienced, yes, and you made various bad choices growing up like everyone else your age, I’m sure, a generation had nothing to do with it, but as you aged I would have thought your concious would’ve bothered you. For shame Albert, you swept my mother and all the future that came from her under the rug. You missed out on so much. I only wish I could have done something to connect my mother to her dad. But you will never hold that title even in death, you don’t deserve it. I will also forgive you because it is what I am supposed to do and I want peace in my life as well.
May you rest in peace,
will be the only
positive thing
I’ll ever say about you.
