Did you and your father share any interests? Tell about your relationship with him.
Great, I really can't answer this question. In all honesty my father was a drunk and did horrible things ... I am bowing out of this question. Maybe someday I can write about him... but I don't think I ever will (at least not in a public setting)
** You know the drill... you can answer in the comment sections, or your own journal. If you are answering in your own journal please link your entry below so everyone can enjoy your writing! If you're new to the journal jar please let us know that also! **
PS. I lost the email from someone who had requested to be a journal jar spotlight journal. So would the person that emailed me please send me a link again... I can't even remember who it was. My memory is shot!

Mine wasn't a drunk but he was a horrible person; very abusive...
I will also bow out of this "relationship" question. He isn't worth the space in my public blog...now my private one is another story.

I have a good dad. He wasn't around much while I was growing up. He traveled for work. We both like to read. that is about it for interests. We get along fine now. I wish he and my mom were closer. I'm in TN they're in WA.
I am new to the journal jar! I am a 21 year old female from KY. I am not too sure how all of this works, but I am learning as I go. I decided I would answer your question in my journal because it definitely needs all the additions it can get. I also didn't want to put it right by everyone else's. I have been lucky with my dad and I really did not want to make anyone feel bad. Please check out my new site, but don't laugh because it is so little, I will have it going great really soon! I would really like to get to know some other fellow journalers, so leave me a comment or whatever else we are supposed to do :)

When I was little, and we would visit my grandparent's farm, dad would take me fishing with him and my uncles and older cousins. When my grandfather died, I was about 10 and my dad took me to the funeral, telling mom, "I think she is old enough to handle it." Dad also has an interest in genealogy although I've done most of the work, I've helped him know more about his family line. Dad and I also have the same blood type. We also share a love for food! LOL!
When I was a teenager, dad and I didn't get along much but after I married and divorced, we grew to be friends again. We would get up at the same time in the morning and kind of watch each other's back if one overslept. One of us would make coffee and we'd sit in the kitchen listening to Charles Osgood on CBS radio news in the mornings before going our ways to start the morning "before work" routine. While I wouldn't call it an "interest" I get my mechanical abilities from dad. I'm one of the few he trusts to go into his toolbox! LOL! He's a great and loving father and I'm happy we worked past our problems. I wish everyone could have a dad like him. Now you make me want to call him! Hugs, Sheila
I am like Promise. I really am not ready to talk about my Dad...
okay, I'm up to 24 but can't do this one justice tonight -- mind is mush! :-) Will post it tomorrow, right now still trying to catch up 24 down and 41 more to go...
Night all!

My Dad had the same failings your Dad did. We still had a relationship though. In between bouts of alcohol abuse, we used to share poetry, books and just talk a lot. I feel the way you do in a lot of way. There's things that went on between us that I would just rather put behind me. There are other things, like reading and peotry that I chose to remember just because I think that those two items helped to develop a side of me that I am proud of.

While he was alive I don't think there were any similar interest though we both loved his motorcycle just spending time together. My dad was very much into racing and built his own cars from the frame up and he was always doing something or watching something that pertained to racing and as a young teenager (well after he had died) I had this really keen interest in all things fast, lol but mostly cars, lol and to this very day I am very much into car racing be it NASCAR or Indy races, I love them all so I guess had he lived we would share that one but I share it with him in his death instead.
