My relationship with my dad has been far from perfect. It's always been a little bit rocky, but in the way that I know that things will eventually be okay. Eventually. There's a lot of personality traits that I've inherited from him that I hate, and it sometimes makes it impossible for us to be civilized when we're so similar. There's always a moment or two when a reminder pops up of the time when the gap between us was too far for me to bear.
But there's also the occassional sentimental moment - a conversation in the car or a talk over dinner, a walk with Cookie or buying ice cream from McDonald's.
And today's moment was a confirmation that I'm on the right track.
