Doing okay. Been working a good bit at the business. It's okay. I like having something of a job, and that it is very flexible.
I'm still struggling emotionally about my father. I wrote a very long story about the two of us. I discovered that he really never let me have an emotion, opinion or feeling of my own, particularly when my mom died. The other thing that I realized is that it really doesn't matter if I answer his phone call or not. It'll be more of the same, if I pick up the phone. I've asked him to write me, and if he really wanted to be in touch with me, then he would do that.

I don't know, Amy. Guys are funny about writing sometimes. My dad, he doesn't work. I have no idea what he does with his time. I wrote him two weeks ago. Haven't heard from him. My hubby, my uncle, and most guys I think aren't the greatest about checking their email. My cousin during high school wanted me to send him microcassettes instead of writing. I preferred writing, so we didn't keep contact. Sucks, and he doesn't make time to respond to any of the few emails I've sent him. I think men are on a different planet. You should get some male perspective on this issue. How would your hubby or someone else feel as far as their preferences to calling or writing? Anyway, I guess my point is, unfortunately, it may be unreasonable to ask your dad to write, if he's uncomfortable with that medium. You, on the other hand, if you feel comfortable writing and expressing your feelings, send him a letter and call him up and see if he's read it & what his feelings are about it.
I hate having to work so hard for some people, the ones who aren't holding up the end of their relationship commitment. Sometimes, it's necessary though. With my friend, I pointed out that he wasn't being a full participant in the friendship as much as I was, and in our situation, he has actually stepped up to the bat more. It matters what's important to people though, what they value.
Hi!
