At least he had the common sense to immediately see the hurtful impact of his words and did the proper thing, apologized, admitted how hurtful and wrong he was, and made amends. you're quick acceptance mollified what could have been a much worse confrontation. you're a better man than i, gunga din!
Your post exemplifies the passion and significance of holiday traditions. It presents the importance of family, offering of food, and grace of forgiveness. These are joyful gifts to share at Christmas, or any time throughout the year.
Barbara, the photo of you and dad tells all. "Alls well that ends well". Sometimes we have to go to extremes to shake someone's mind, and you did it well. The table settings are well set. Barbara, Ann will certainly enjoy when she returns from her errands. Merry Christmas to you and Nick
Barbara, I'm sure he was, but at the moment you had to bring him into good frame of mind. Ann told me when you where neighbors on View Street your father would drive you and Ann to Regent Avenue School with a little tug from Jenny. Barbara you can make me a pasta dish anytime.
Beautiful remembrance. During the holiday season may we remember those who came before us, those who provided fond memories, wonderful examples, and a path to follow.
Such a sweet (and tasty) memory. I have to believe that your dad taught his grandchildren how to eat and enjoy their pasta...wishing you, Diane and family the opportunity to repeat this Christmas Eve tradition. Peaceful and joyous Christmas to you al.

I agree, Mike. Barbara handled it well and with love.
What a wonderful remembrance! My mouth is watering...and there's a bit of a tear in my eye. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Barbara and I were junior and senior high school classmates. We have remained dear friends for lo these many years. Lucky us.
Merry Christmas, Dave.

Lovely, Lora. Barbara will love it.
Thank you.
Thanks, Lora,
My dad was difficult in that moment, but we had a lifetime of love and caring that was a much stronger bond. That was the true blessing.
