in remembering my dad
12 years ago
last night while i was unable to sleep my mind turned to thoughts of my father who died in 2007 when i started drawing my art back in the 70,s he was very much against it to the point of destroying it when he found it *which is why i don,t have many examples of my early art* but towards the end of his life he came to accept not only my art but the fandom i belong to and love so much ,,some of the last things he told me was how proud he was of me and how good my art was and he wished he had been more supportive of me back then that i might be even better had he givin support ,the thing most unexpected was him telling me he had secretly followed my art and had been collecting it ,i loved my dad even when he wasn,t there for me and miss him dearly the one thing i never got to do for him was draw him as a coyote shaman *he loved coyotes and i helped him run a rescue for orphaned pups* thank you for listening *hugs and nuzzles* i love you all Darkwolfe Moonchaser
He was probably afraid you wouldn't go anywhere in life with what you where doing, probably based of the preconception of the times. Ultimatly, he probably only wanted what was good for you, he just thought what was good for you wasn't what you thought was good for you, a common idea amongs parents, which isn't always false.
With time, people realise, they understand better, ultimatly parents wants what is best for their kids ( most of the time ) they might have misconceptions, but with time the misconceptions fade away.
As long as you keep him in your heart, he will live on through the sweet and even not so sweet memories. You always write touching journals.
