I actually called my father today and wished him a happy fathers day. I normally don't call him because earlier in my adult life my father didn't want to be apart of my life (anyway that's they way I took it when I purchased a toll free number and he didn't call me not once)but we are all getting older and I love my father I just wish he would try harder to show me he cares for me other than my birthday. I would like to talk to him at least once a month if not more but I want him to show the effort and call me to talk rather than asking me about my brother because he can't get a hold of him. Do you guys think I am asking to much? He wasn't there very much growing up and I only heard from him once a year on my birthday until he retired last year but I called him every time. My mother gets mad when I talk to him because she raised us without his help (no child support)and my step dad who has always been there gets really jealous and he knows that I love him as a dad. I told him once "anyone can be a father but it takes someone special to be a dad" I love them both but different you know what I mean?
