Do I Love My Dad?
A young man's identity and self-esteem are formed by the male figures in his life. His father plays the most important role. Many fathers love their children and do appropriate things to show their love. Sadly, other fathers don't care, are absent, or love their sons but don't know how to show that love. As a young man grows, searching for insights into his relationship with his father, his question may always be "Does my father love me?" If he feels neglected or forsaken by his father, his question then turns to "Do I love my father?"
Book Excerpt
World Eternal: Perils
His relationship with his dad was like the marshy beaver ponds beside the mountain highways—stagnant and smelly, covered with a brown collection of decayed plant material, never showing the bottom—at least not until someone stepped in them. Then the ooze parted to reveal a roiling of mud and rottenness. His dad’s sudden death was that footstep.
Did he love his dad? He didn’t know. Did he even respect his dad and what he stood for? No. He never wanted to copy him or be like him. Several times during the last two years while Pat was at Boulder studying astrophysics, his dad had asked him to go into business with him in construction. He declined, knowing he would be on the short end of the employee pay account.
