This came in email, from my dad...

"I see horizon
Too weak to cross over it
Moving forward on

Not looking backward
With mirrors I see behind-
A crossed horizon

A life of toiling
Slowly, stickily leaving
A shiny chrysalis

Flutter on onward
Thru wind, whipped here, there
My moment is life

"It 'gladdens' me to know that you have never been beaten by academic or
other 'challenges' that you have fully engaged."

{5.41pm: That's the... most touching thing i think my dad has ever sent me...}

Then good for you two.

Look, i don't exactly have an "Emotional" relationship, with my dad, so when he expresses emotion, i take note. You don't fucking like it, don't read it.

If you weren't being sarcastic, sorry, i'm in a Touchy Fucking Mood, recently, especially about my family inter-relationships.

That's understandable. I should have realized b4 hand that that particular phrasing could be miscontrued.

I was being sincere cos I also lack emotinal bonds with parental units.

So, how about this:

"That is touching. It even touched me."

Yeah. Sorry about that.
