i was never that "close" to him, but secretly i admired him. he came from icredible poverty in a 3rd world country and was a scholar--had a full ride @ Purdue & MIT. he never forgot his roots ans helped the rest of his siblings go thru college. he was a domineering, overbearing man who struggled w/his fiercely independent daughter. six years ago, he died of a massive heart attack--that wkend i was going to anounce my pregnancy. he would have been overjoyed. My 5 year old daughter has traits of her grandpa. i often wonder if my father can see her & often cry and think how foolish i was in my youth to engage in battle that really don't mean much to me anymore. I want to say,"look fatherr, here is your granddauhgter--a slice of me, only better. Does the pain ever go away and will we meet again?
