When you Love someone you don't expect things in return, (its nice if the person at least acknowledges you though) Why is your relationship so strained that you don't bother to take the time to see your dad except once a year to get gifts? you cant pick up a phone or drop a letter/card in the mail? How far away do you live from him? How old are you? All I can say to you is you are really lucky to have a dad who loves you unconditionally and more than likely would love to see/spend more time with you. Alot of kids don't get to see their dads. Some dads don't even want to see their kids. Its a shame. I would try to work on this relationship. It sounds like your dad would be very willing too. The only way to get rid of the guilt is to have a heart to heart talk with your dad and quit lying to him. If you cant go over to his house tell him the reason and make other arrangements. You must really be missing something (dad0 to just burst out in tears.Make ammends with your dad while he is still here with you before its too late. I got along with my Dad and I miss him alot he has been gone for 6 years now. i would do anything to have him back again even for 1 day.Good Luck and Merry Christmas Back to top anne god Yahoo User Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2007 4:09 am    Post subject: I am sure i can help you dearmy father is also miles away from medoes it mean i break a promise and cry???a father is a friendbe with him spend more time with himmen cant cry like woman to express feelingsthey always are guilty of itdont be a daughter be a friend and frequently communicate with each otheru have to make each other strongand those gifts see to it u return adequate love to him......confide everything u feel to him and he will duely forgive youtalk your heart out to hi and make him doo the samegoodluckand lots of loveyours dearlyanne/- Back to top Tall Green Alien Yahoo User Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2007 4:12 am    Post subject: Since you feel so badly about this it means that you have a tender loving heart, and that you love your Dad. Tell him that you feel bad about not being able to visit him one more day and that you didn't tell him about having to take care of your little brothers. Make an effort to call him more often and to visit him more often. Accept his presents. It will make him feel better about not being able to be with you as often. Don't beat yourself up over this thing and just do the right thing instead. Your Dad would feel much better knowing that you are so bent out of shape over not showing him as much love as you have been and that you had another obligation on that day. That would be much better than just allowing him to think that you just blew him off. Hopefully you will have a long time to show your father how much you love him, especially by making more of an effort to be with him. That would mean much more to him than you giving him presents. Dads generally have enough stuff, so the best thing you can give him is your love. Deal with your guilt by starting to show that love now. Start with a special call to him on Christmas. When he asks you how is school, don't just say it's O.K. Be prepared to have a real conversation with your Dad. Being apart from you on Christmas will be difficult enough for him, and for you, so do make an effort to make an extra-special telephone conversation with him. Schedule a time to be together, and before you hang up, tell him you love him. It may seem corny or something to you, but believe me, it will make his day. It will even make him feel better about his life!!

I did everything to make my dad proud through my academics and all but towards last 2 years of my college I have done everything that is despised yet he is always supportive and forgiving and made me to give up all my stupid acts.

Having to watch your brothers is a good reason to have your plans ruined.Call him apologize, tell him you're sorry. He's your father, he'll understand, I promise. Back to top
