Meagan, this is a beautiful post. Excuse me while I go call my father & tell him I love him. :)

Meagan,

My father died last year after a short illness and it was only as he lay on his death bed that I realised I’d forgotten to tell him how much I loved him. I’d always took him for granted and it took his illness and ultimately his death for me to really appreciate him. Your story is a reminder to us all on how important it is to take the time to tell the special people in our lives how much we love and cherish them.

Take care

Sean

I was browsing the net seeking inspiration for web design work. I came across your site and read your post about father’s day. It was moving only because of the similarities in our experiences on this subject. You and your father obviously are examples of amazing people in that through the tough times you keep trucking and your wisdom of forgiveness is light years beyond most. Happy Belated Father’s Day to your father!

Meagan,

I was first awed by your design, and then by your writing. I can tell this is from the heart and you are a passionate person.

I wish you and your family all the best. You seem like a wonderful person.

As someone who also had a troubled relationship with his father I could really relate to that. It’s great that you didn’t allow things to get bitter between the two of you… sometimes one of the hardest things to realise is that your parents are only human, with all the flaws that comes with being human.
Great photograph too :)

Meagan,

That grace helps me shovel through the residue of emotions passed on through my dad’s trials. He was born in Communist Romania and had the right to immigrate to the US because his mom was born in the states. Crazy stuff happened. Long version here: http://dannyhotea.com/dhx/romerican

I really enjoyed your story. Thanks for sharing.

That was just beautiful. Not just a great designer a great writer as well, and an even greater daughter. He must be proud, I hope you tell him these things and not just post it here.
