My dad is a 100% completely different person now to and I love him very much. I had a lot of animosity and didn't love him for a long time. I then saw him with grandchildren and knew he had changed 180 degrees from what he was when we were kids. Therapy, meds, and a want to change and keep his family did it. I'm proud of the man he has become.

I've forgiven everyone who's ever done anything to me also. The weight of carrying that around is just too great to do because of someone else's errors in life.

I'll definitely check out some birds. You've sold me.
