Absent Father
No contend Lost, No Love Found That father and daughter bond, the sweetest love Ive neer fill outn. Ive seen my father all over a thousand times wondering if hes ever seen me. Looking with his look wide shut. It seemed as if over the years he was disappearing, fading into the black. A fragment of what I vox populi I needed tho in all reality became as pointless as the conclusion to book that Ill never coat My father has managed for eighteen years to be a part of my liveness without being a part of my life. He lives right around the loge from me in a two story home thats insolatedry(a) light br throw.It looked worry s fluffy double stacked pancakes and when the sun hit the satellite dish on the top of the roof it make the top half of the house shine like syrup running off the top. For a while all I knew my father by was this house, I got ideas of what he might be like by aspect at this house. I thought of him as a full somatic man because instead of having peerless fr ont door he had two. So I thought maybe he couldnt fit finished just one. I imagined him as a strong wide corporeal linebacker with a soft side due to the position that he had a colorful well-kept garden on the side of the house.The mean solar day I met my dad not my father who had raised me except my dad. I truly realized that I was imagining him with my heart and not my mind. He stood as tall as a palm tree sighting brim side, with arms as long as a boardwalk. He never even attempted to say a word to me or bespeak me how I was doing in school. Instead he pieced me with his beany brown eyes that appeared to be rising off of a yellow back drop. He looked at me as if I had stolen his joy. I reached out to hug him scarce he reached out his hand for me to shake instead. His fingers felt like screwball cycles penetrating my skin.I thought to myself how someone with such a warm way could be so cold on the inside. Sad to say, I know this doesnt sound like the best first impressi on however over the years as bad as our first materialise was it was the best one yet. Because from here on out my so called pappa began to look a lot more like George Washington and Andrew Johnson. both I saw of him was the money he sent e truly month. all the same though my dad may have stopped looking at me I kept my eye on him. Like I say earlier he lived right around the corner from me. I could lookout my bedroom window and see directly into his backyard.I would watch his every carry on like if he were my favorite TV show. He moved very quickly like a fire running through a dry forest. It was like he moved so quickly but looked as if he took his time because he was so smooth with it. in all he did was go to work, watch late night re runs of games, and clubhouse out. At least thats all I got from watching through his backyard, trash and sliding glass door. He was so consistent like just as sure as Monday was coming after Sunday. He was very predictable, I felt as if I d seen enough. I know this may not sound like much but this is all I knew of my father.I havent seen or looked for him in tierce years. I never even knew his name. I named him randy due to the fact that IM his only child and my name is Brandy. I may have never got to have a full blown out conversation withRandy I know we are nothing alike. He is so empty. A cactus in the desert would have more life then he did. I never understood why or how my very own father could be so cold and emotionless towards me. But one thing I learned from my father was to appreciate what I do have and to stop worrying about what I dont have. So if you were to ask me about my father today I forget simply tell you Out of sight out of mind.
