Forgiving is difficult. But nothing can be more difficult than to forget the actions done by another which has caused considerable harm and pain to you. But can forgiving and forgetting come on the same package as most of us usually believe?
I still remember when dad and I had a great fight because of mom. Itwas the last fight that totally destroyed every bits and pieces of respect I have for him for it was the day when mom almost died few hours after I left the house for work.
I basically am a quiet person at home although I portray a different character when I'm out in the office or in the street. This is perhaps one of my greatest asset: concealing my true feelings about something even when my heart is about to explode of pain.
Dad and I never spoke until today. I have no plans of making my first move though. Perhaps, the pain is still there or I lost all my willingness to do it. I may have forgiven him already but I just don't have the strength to do the act. Perhaps, someday, somehow, things will get better and God will create a plan on, once again, rebuilding a family that was never whole in the first place...
Each of us have our own drama in life. So better be your best and do what you can to conquer the obstacles leading to the road of True Happiness. Life is good as always. We just have look at the brighter side of everything. =)

It's really difficult to forgive but you have to, without forcing it. When you lose a loved one, especially a parent, you don't remember any of the pain he caused you. What will stand out in your memory are the good things, plus the things you failed to do, & forgiveness is one of them. Emu na paburen miras ka rin bec. you'll carry that for the rest of your life.
Forgive and forget-- the most elusive but possible tandem of all. Yes, it's difficult to do both but guess what, you can learn the acts. All we need to do is take the first step and everything would turn out to be history.
wow! what a story jules! forgiving is very hard, especially when the wound is deep. I pray that you find a way to forgive your dad. :)
This is a great post Jules, very insighfull.
Forgive and forget.... I can forgive but if it was something that made me suffer too much I don't forget. Never. I may not mention it, but it remains in my memorie.
So please make some effort, not to forget but to forgive your father.
Remember life is short and when he would be gone you might regret about that.
Think of that, hun.
All the best
