My dad died before I could reconcile with him. I'd decided to attempt it, but I kept putting it off because I was ashamed of the state of my life and didn't feel like I had anything to offer but disappointment. But that wasn't true, because even in the worst case I still could have offered an apology... I don't think we ever could have been close, and he was flawed as a father, but I treated him unfairly in the grand scheme of things.

I'll always reget not talking to him man to man — if not son to father — before his end.
