Several people I know get upset with me that I haven't seen my father in person for about 20 years. We talk on the phone a handful of times a year and that's fine with me.

People assume many things about our relationship but in the end I don't need closure and it's easier to not go there.

At some point I'm going to take my daughter to see him, because she wants to meet him. I'm sure it will go fine, a weekend in NM isn't 19 years, there isn't enough time for things to get screwy enough that I'm worried it'll all go out if control.
