I love the stories of getting together with your fathers. I just learned that the father of my three oldest children has a brain tumor. He's never been a father to any of the kids and is a drunk. I doubt there is any chance of reconciliation with him and my kids because I don't think they really want it. He's done too many horrible things to them but I still can't hope that before he passes, he will make the effort to reach out to them for resolution. I think they need that.
