His response

Kory,

I want to tell you something, that you may not believe. I think of you awhole lot and have always felt close to you as a son and a friend. I don'thave any excuse for not calling you and I have stopped by but at timesnobody is around. I just want you to know that whether I see you or not;you and your family are always in the mind and heart. I don't know what tosay for you to understand this but it is the truth. I have always feltfamily is the only thing that matters. It is always there and if anybodyneeds help, I will always be there and I am always thinking of you. Ireally don't know what to say but I really do love you and am proud of youfor what you are and how you have grown up. Time & work takes so much awayfrom life. Do I wish I had Saturdays to watch yours boys play games - yes;but I don't. I can't change that, it is how I work. I have been working 6+days a week for the past year just to keep my head above water. I don'twant to make any excuses for me. I will try harder. Just don't worry about being angry at me or calling me on fathers day. Iunderstand and will try to work on being a better father and grandfather. See the thing I know and you don't is; I know you love me but your not sureof me and that is the problem with relationship. Well, don't question itanymore. Whether we see each other or not, we are always. If you want to get together some Friday or Saturday evening for dinner andsome drinks, let me know and maybe we can talk this through so you feelbetter. Because the last thing I want to happen is any of my children beingupset at me for the reason you stated. I generally give enough of otherreason.

Love,
Dad
