> Before I give a reply, I'd like to ask a question... Do you remember what your relationship with your Dad was like when you were 7? Good, bad, none of the above?Greg,
My father was the most important person in my life. I can't begin to explain how much I loved him... Anyway, after about the age of 9 I couldn't remember a thing about my father, even though it had only been two short years after he died. All the memories I have about him now have come back in the last 3 1/2 years. My father and I were extremely close. I was raised in a very ethnic (Greek) family. The one thing about Greek men is that they are all very stoic. So that's the route I took; I wasn't going to be hurt by his death even though it overwhelmed me. As I've recently learned that is a recipe for disaster for a young boy with a developing mind...
