But what has become of the person I once called "my hero"? What has happened during the last six years? What is wrong with him? He seemed to be apologizing for everything. First for his new car (just substract the rims). Well, then he started talking about his life without us. How he still feels his head injury (he once broke his neck but survived). He never did that before. Where went all his strength that people tell I have too. Where is his strong will? He seemed so weak and pale. Not exactly old, but tired. And his voice... no energy in it.
I am deeply disappoited. This, my friends, is one of the moments I could cry. I really could. For one, I think it's a shame that the father I knew is gone (even characterwise, he wouldn't even put up a good fight) and for the other that I don't want to become what he is today. |
Is there more to his injury than he let on? A person dosen't just change for no reason. Any ideas what could have sparked such a transformation? Maybe you should talk to your dad, let him know that you're worried about him and lack of energy and his sudden change in persona. Offer him your ear. If he needs to get some things off his cheast, let it happen. If your father's not himself for some reason, maybe you can help him find himself again. Hope this helps, if not just ignore it.
I'm sure the man u called your hero is there, maybe he just feels that he can be more open with you now that you're both a little older.
