Stephen-v-Blogsbody: Parties to talk in Cressroads?
Good evening Michael,
… as I type these words, there is a sense of prophetic haplessness in moving forward. I guess my answers are indeed laid squarely upon the table. Over the past 45 years opportunity has always been at your feet to reunite the desire or want to meet and be reunited with your son.
However, only having met the once, there has been no real intent on your part to spirit things forward. Maybe, that is the only answer, as you have always continued on a personal journey and perhaps that path is one for you and you alone …
… I am sure that you take on board that it is quite a normal and somewhat rational desire to find and value one’s family, after all you would know the real value of this as you continually demonstrate the importance of both family ties and of those around you.
Moving forward … Ah well, having found my father it is with sadness that I feel that if this journey is to be one which is soulless and based upon rhetoric of yesteryear then this path is not for me. Michael when we first spoke, I heard a deep sense of joy in your voice on reuniting, however it seems that this was just a momentary lapse in reason.
… I hope that one day I will have the opportunity of meeting my extended family as their older brother there is a real sense of importance to me to know my own family. With children of my own I can assure you that the role of being a Father with the added sense of loyalty, responsibility and love for my own children would never allow history to repeat itself, and maybe because of this, it allows me to move on.
So Michael, it is now your choice as your reader on your blog put so wisely: ‘ … More importantly, what is your soul telling you about this? If you feel it is an honest request to get closer to the father he did not know, then ball is yours. Whatever happens, seems you need to meet him for a further chat.
I sign off now, but please pause for thought about what I have said.
Your son,
Stephen
