A boy grows up hating his father, but loving his mother dearly. He dedicates his life to being different than his father as the man embodied everything that the boy despised. One day his mother dies, and standing over her grave he is shocked at his inability to greive for her. Some years pass, and his father dies. As he stands over his fathers grave he can not contain his grief, he is a weeping mess. What do you take away from this?

I would think that after spending his life consumed by his father, the need to be different, the need to be anything but, he is shocked and dismayed to find a large part of his life missing, even though it was an unhappy part. While he loved his mother, she was not as large a part of his life, because his father is the one who shaped his life, not the mother.

My first thought is that the boy was at peace with the relationship he had with his mother and maybe he knew that she would go to a better place. With his Father the relationship was unresolved and he had a lot of built up hate that he did not deal with. He probably let his emotions just go, because he could finally stop hating.

The fact that he wasn't greiving his mom was that he had spent wonderful times with her and knew even if she was gone from ths earth, she going to a better place. His father on the other hand, he never spent time with him, so he grieves now because he has no memories to share with others unlike his mother.

He had a relationship with his mother that left him thinking that everything he wanted and needed from her was fulfilled and he knew she knew it was all good. The grief for the father was the grief for knowing that everything that should have been, wasnt, and not the chance for it is dead.

You were ready to let your mother go because of the wonderful relationship you had...because you had so much left unsaid to your father, you wept because you loved him and couldn't tell him

That 'boy'
realized that he was 'The Love'
of those two.
As he will soon or later be a father, his cries were possible, Regretting to that 'hate'.

he regrets hating his father for all those years and not getting to know him better, he did not grieve for his mother because he did know her very well and enjoyed his time with her
