A ROCKY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A FATHER AND HIS DAUGHTER

This story is about a father who sort of lost his only daughter to the world early in her life, and then had trouble dealing with her when she drifted back into his life as she grew older.

The story will be rewritten in time to clean it up such as the flow and any grammatical problems.

Preface

I have known a few men who have had rocky (difficult) relationships with their children. Often, these relationships can be attributed to bad relationships between their parents. After observing a few of these relationships throughout my life, I was inspired to write a story about a father who sort of lost his daughter to the world early in her life, and then had trouble dealing with her when she became more involved in his life as she grew older. This is a fictional story that I may rewrite in the form of scripts for a play or a book. At this time, I have written a monologue by the father after he and his daughter had a heated argument, It's about his note to her trying to explain his understanding of their rocky relationship.

RELATIONSHIPS

This is the way life is on earth: Nothing stays the same and everything changes. Something horrible such as a stroke happening to a loved one, like a father or mother, should cause one to realize that this could happen at any moment to yourself or to any other loved one in your life, cheating you from having any normal interaction, as well as dashing any plans and hope for the future with that person. It is necessary to aggressively interact with the people we love or care for while there is time and an opportunity.

You can hope and plan for the future, but you must live for the moment or you may lose your opportunity for anything. God allows us only the moment that we take a breath...that's it! If you purposely put off real meaningful interaction with someone who you care for because you think a better time may come; if you make your life so busy and cluttered that you don't have time to see what's real and what's not; if you make excuses for not following your heart, and if you prioritize money, job, pride and everything else over what your heart really wants, the odds are you will eventually regret not realizing what's really important in this short time on earth.
