I got home from school this afternoon and noticed a small piece of yellow cardboard on my pillow. I picked it up and it had the heading "SON" with some text underneath it.
I thought I would share it with you
SON
It seems like just
a little while ago
you raised your tiny head
and smiled at me
for the first time
and I smiled back with tears
I loved you so much then
Though you are older now
living your dreams
pursuing your dreams
pursuing your own goals
I still look at your beautiful smile
to know that things are
all right with you
and I am so very proud of you
and I love you even more now
When I read this I thought it was my mum who left the note, but then my dad rang me and asked if i got "his" note.
so it was him.
I thought about it, and wondered why the hell would he do that, he is not usually all emotional like that ??.
But then i think of how are tough things are at the moment, with him being unemployed, supprting 2 families.
I began to think maybe it was like a suicide note, it freaked me out, but, it looks like I was wrong.
It looks as though all this time of him being unemployed has left him time to think, and maybe it was his way of showing his feelings indirectly.
I don't know, but i thought i would share it with you. his words in the note are touching, but then I think
"I wonder if he would still feel the same way if I told him about me being a BL"
anyway

Nah, don't go wondering what he'd think if he knew all about you. Ultimately, nobody really knows EVERYTHING about you.
Just enjoy his loving you...bask in it.
My father and I haven't spoken in several years, and he refused to see me when I was visiting the States the last time I went 2 years ago. Not even about my being gay...just family stupid politics...
So I'll enjoy his message to you, as well.
Thanks for sharing it!

Yes, thanks for sharing. As a parent of boys, one quite challenging, I can tell you that most parents' love is quite unconditional. Nevertheless, no reason to worry the folks at this point in your life, me thinks, and they probably would worry because they want what's best for you and for some reason parents tend to imagine worst-case scenarios!
What is important is that you can find beauty in others and are capable of giving and receiving love, and you know the difference between loving acts and hurtful acts. From everything I've read this is all true of you and you're also quite realistic about it.
Take care. I'm off to write a note myself . . .

Adam, I dont think it matters, your Dad obviously loves you and it would seem that there is no reservations. Revel in the Love mate and worry about the other later. It ISNT important to associate your WHOLE life with a feeling for sex.
You are a Good person Adam FIRST AND FOREMOST. Anything else is a part of you but NOT you ok??
I told my Dad 2 years ago of my attraction to guys in a sexual manner. I fully expected to be thrown out or worse but ,he didnt, he floored me by saying he loved me?? After all I put him and my Bro through, I expected MUCH less.
Take your time Adam and experience life before you make your preferences concrete, that was what my DAD said, I am trying to do that and you shoudl try too..

when their kids grow up, fathers fell like they have to treat them differently, as if all of a sudden they are not his kids any more.
Mine are rapidly approaching that age of when tehy spread their wings and venture out of the nest and I sincerely pray that I do not change my behavior towards them, but continue to show my love in any manner I can as often as I can.
Feel that love, Adam, roll around in it, hold it firmly to your chest. And save that note for a rainy day, so that no matter how low you feel, there is someone you know who loves you no matter what.
Hugs, Charlie
