Crucial Day

In our lives we have people who mold who we are. Sometimes the process isn't pleasant. Sometimes we become who we are by harsh means. In my life my Father was mean, self centered, abusive, and demeaning, yet without that upbringing I would not be the person I am today. Words from parents have lasting results. They effect every aspect of your life. This morning I mourn the passing of my father. I can remember very few positive memories of the man, but I know that without that childhood to overcome I would not be able to be the person I am today. I thank him for doing the best he could with his own demons and know that now that he has returned to source he can breath in the Love of God and rest from his pains.
