A Father's Thoughts

A father's thoughts
My son is 25 this week. Have I done all that is possible?
On the surface he has grown into a fine man. How much of that is me?
I wonder what scars my disease has left on him?
I'm grateful for the memories, mostly loving, proud and joyful.
They give me solace, as I lay here unable to make more.
I'm left with the knowledge that I tried my best.
It's his life now.

  1. Chris has a wonderful Dad. How many sons can witness their fathers face unspeakable odds, and still be positive, loving, and inspirational. He is a lucky son. You are a great Dad, Rick. Happy Father's Day. XOXO
