Today's the day I see my dad for the first time in three years, and I couldn't be anymore confused than I am in this very moment. I don't know what to feel: excitement, fear, tension? Because of all the pain he's caused me to feel, I ask myself how I should react to finally seeing him again. And as much I want to show hatred toward him, I know I won't. Although he has caused me to cry, he's also been the reason behind some of my laughter. He's my dad, and although he hasn't always been there for me or shown me that he really wants to be a part of my life, I can't seem to want to push him away. And maybe it's because I don't want to regret how I've ever spent my short amount of time with him.
And I think that statement brings me to my word of advice for today.
I think it's important to always have an open space in your heart for even the most distant people because you never know when you'll see them again. I'm not saying it's acceptable for them to walk in and out of your life, but when they do finally decide to walk in, make those moments count.
