Most of y'all know the story about the my relationship with my father, for the past 2 years, 2 months, we have not spoken a single WORD even though he lives less than 4 miles away. It's LONG story as to why this happened but to make it short, it's because of my child molesting step brother, he put Michelle and I in a position to were we had NO CHOICE other than to turn him over the Pinetop Lakeside Police Dept for not registering as a sex offender......as you can only imagine, the words that were exchanged that day when my father found out.
WELL.....I was sitting here at the desk paying bills, running invoices etc, ya know, business stuff, when the phone rang, I looked at the caller ID, it came up with my fathers phone number, I thought "Oh chit......somethings happened to him!" His health too, is failing rather quick. SO....I picked up the phone, with a hesitation in my voice and to my wonder, it was HIM!!! He said it was time that the hatchet was buried and to bring the family back together! Needless to say, I was speechless.......in the 45 minutes we talked, I was on a rollercoaster of emotions, felt everything from anger to complete, total JOY beyond comprehension!
So.....as one era nears an end, Michelles mother, another one begins with my father! Let me tell ya folks.....I've been SO dam stressed over the past 2 years that you cannot even begin to imagine, I'm a family man and to have a part of my family missing, especially the man I worshiped, was literally KILLING ME from the inside. I "KNOW, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that God did this!" I totally turned it over to Him finally, totally, completely last month and told God that it was in His hands and whatever His will was, so be it!
Thanks for listening, I just HAD to share this!
