Trying to absorb the news

 Hi friends, I watched the best episode of Cold Case earlier on the CW channel with all songs from Bruce Springsteen, I still ca'nt believe my dad has cancer.It's hard to imagine, I have'nt seen him in over 5 years, I have gone through my whole life without him being in my life pretty much.In his eyes I am a failure and he never accepted me.It hurt beyond words but I moved on without looking back.He has proven to me over and over that he does'nt give a damn about me.I keep thinking did his rotten attitude and hate towards so many people bring this on ? He is full of rage, mad at the world, always looking to see how he can get back at someone, I decided he was'nt what I wanted to be and I took a different route in life, accepting others and being kind, so far it's been ok, I know in my heart I am a good person, not perfect by any means but a good person.Too bad my dad will never know me, I have had so much weighing on my mind today, Angie I'm sorry I did'nt call you back today, got some unexpected company, Tommorow night on CBS at 9:00 p.m. is a new Cold Case, I'll be watching, Gina thanks for calling me tonight, it was nice to hear from a friend,  I am so tired , it's been a long day, I Love You All Lisa XOXO

Hi Lisa,
I am sorry you are struggling with the news of your father.
He should have never treated you the way he did.
We've had a LONG day and I am going to go to bed.
Sounds like your day has been draining like mine.
I will talk with you soon hon.
Love,
Donna

Lisa, you're a sweet, caring person so it will bother you even though your dad was a jerk.  My kids are the same way.  I'm agreeing with some of the others that a phone call at first might be easier on you.  I'm keeping you in my prayers.  Hugs Chris

That's okay, sorry I had company over when you called. Bummer. I know what you mean about your dad and sometimes you just have to take a different path so you don't fall into the same legacy.  Nobody said it would be easy, however you have proved to be a wonderful caring person :)
LOVE YOU
Ang

I know it has been difficult on you your whole life.  I wish there was something perfect I could offer you.  It is sad that he has lived his life like  he has and now sad that maybe his life will soon be ending.  I hope you hang in there ok Lisa.  I'm more worried about  you than him.  Take care.

you ARE a wonderous lady, so loving and kind. It is very sad that your dad never found that within himself. He has missed out on a wonderful daughter.
Love you

No alert for this one either... you're a great person Lisa in spite of how your father was. I know you're hurting because like I told you before regardless of the fact that he was an awful father to you.. he is sadly the only father you will have in your lifetime.. can't change that. So I know you're feelings are torn about his illness. He doesn't deserve your concern for the way he has treated you and your brother.
Take care and Hugs, Chrissie
