A Day With My Pubba...
It took me time to come up with my entry for this month's Neoxiancity Prompt because I had mixed feelings while trying to figure out the one person in the whole world that I would love to spend at least a day with. There is a long list of people I really want to meet especially Hive members and other celebrities across the world. Thinking about it somehow got me emotional even though it's not my first time writing about this topic but I haven't been very honest with my response to similar prompts because I didn't want to face the truth.
As much as I would love to meet a lot of people at least for a day, I couldn't take my mind off my father.
He is not dead, he is alive and healthy I think but we haven't seen him since 2008. We have been living separately for over two decades now and the little time we shared the last time we saw happened in a flash, it was so quick that I couldn't hold on to a memory from the meeting.
We talk on the phone once in a while but lately, I have had the urge to see him and spend some quality time with him. We live in different parts of the world and if that wasn't the case, I would have asked for a meeting which my siblings would be very happy about as well.
About two months ago, my friend lost his dad and I felt really sad for the family. The tragedy got me thinking about my dad as well because he is not getting any younger, it's a silly thing to think about death but there is no point in shying away from the truth.
The beautiful memories I had with him were in the 90s when we were living under the same roof and I barely even remember them because I was a kid. We were a very happy family but life is really unpredictable and, unfortunately, we have to live separately at a very tender age.
There was a time we were very mad at him but as we grew older, we learned more about life and had to let our grudges with him go. He is a wonderful father and we will always have him in our hearts regardless of his shortcomings.
By spending just one day with him, we can do a lot together and even create beautiful memories that will always be fresh in our hearts forever. It can turn out to be a moment of reconciliation with the family even though we don't have to live together anymore since we are all grown-ups now and that would be awesome for everyone.
We can take family pictures since we don't have one anymore and just have fun randomly. I have a few questions that only he can answer and I can tell that day would be one of the best days of our lives because I won't be spending that day with him alone, it would be unfair to leave my mom and siblings out of this.
I hope I haven't bored you with my entry. In my situation shying away or facing the truth won't change anything at the moment, I am just glad I could tell what is on my mind regarding the prompt.
Thanks for reading.

I pray your wish comes true someday.
Amen, thanks buddy.
This makes me sad George.. I wish you could see him first before he left this world. You are right, he's not getting any younger anymore.
The same thing happened to me. I used to hate my father but then again, he is my father and the reason why I am in this world. So let time heal all wounds and grudges with him go.
Good luck to the contest

OMG. After 2008 you didn't see your father and it's really heartbreaking in my opinion and I hope you will meet with your father very soon.
I have never encountered a situation like yours and I don't want to feel also. Your day stays in your heart but far from you physically. It's time to make some moments with your dad. Do take too much time and make it as fast as possible.

2008 is a long time and I honestly missed more these days. I used to miss him before now but my resentment towards him wouldn't make me agree to that but now, I have put away the grudges and want to create beautiful memories with him again.
A quality time with family especially the fathers is really awesome and great because more guidance and experience will be shared and learnt. Thanks for sharing
That's right, there is a lot of benefits in meeting him and I am looking forward to that someday.
It's common to be mad at our parents especially father's but age and maturity gives us a better view though not an excuse for their inadequacy. We now take life more gently.
Please do find time to go see home. It would gladden not just your heart but his the more.
The top could get lonely sometimes
Yea, that's how it should be. No matter your father's shortcoming, he remains your father, you can only tell him the truth and hope for a change to that best Dad you ever wished for.
@george-dee I hope you plan for a visit soon. It will really be nice if you can
Thanks for participating ✅
A father will always be a father and no matter what they do, we have to just forgive each other.
I hope I can someday because he doesn't stay in the country.
It is understandable that this prompt triggered a longing to see your father. 2008 is a while ago and a lot might have happened during that time. Parents remain our parents no matter what. Now that you would like to create new memories with him - I hope you will have the opportunity to do so. Where there is a will there is a way. All the best wishes for an imminent reunion.

Thanks for the encouragement, 2008 is really a long time ago and I hope the meeting happens sooner.
Thanks a lot.
