    For many fathers, there is a patient wait for redemption form estranged sons. It borders on mythical. This and many other things is the payoff for living with integrity, you faced that gulf between you, and both of you have won.

    This is what happens when you have found your courage!

    Congratulations! Well done!!

    I am so happy for you. Thank you for posting - the positive stories really give me hope in humanity. I'm about to send a similar email to my dad.

    Only read this now, but I'm happy it went so well!
    Seems like this might even bring the two of you closer together - About time I'd say! :slight_smile:

    Richie, I know we've gotten side-tracked a bit since Saturday's celebration about your dad, but don't put off arranging a time for both of you to finally meet. Juggling work and kids and the day-to-day responsibilities of living are an easy excuse to let it fall by the wayside. Stay focused on the follow through and it could reap some dividends with your mom and sister as well. So proud of my brother! :slight_smile:
