Like the song says, regrets...I've had a few. And today makes me think of one especially...I've never had a father. Oh there were a few male "influences", of course there was someone biologically and there was someone else there betting the hell out out me until age 11, but I have never had a dad, so I guess I never missed it because I never really hung out with people who did. But now, recently, I have met people with really positive "Dad" memories, really great fathers and now I kinda miss it. It gets me thinking of how different my life would have been, how much personal disaster could I have avoided if I would have had a father. And being a person of some imagination and a brain that just won't shut up, I have thought of it in more than a little detail. And it makes me sad. Which, in turn, leads me to the fact that it is highly unlikely that I ever become a father myself, which I have come to grips with but which also makes me sad when I really think about it. I'd like to think I'd be good at it. Zeus knows that I seen a bad one first hand. I know what not to do.
So I guess what I'm saying is...if you have a father and he is a good one, let him know how much you appreciate him everyday, not just today. Not everyone has one.
