A
Man talking to his Father.
- Excuse me. May I come in?
- Sure. Come on
in.
- How are you today?
- Same old same
old.
- Good… good.
- What can I do
for you, son?
- I am sorry.
- Sorry for
what?
- For lying to you. For disobeying. For doing things
that I was not supposed to do. For going to places I was not supposed to go.
- That’s ok,
son.
- No, that’s definitely not ok. I screwed up.
- Yes, you did.
You screwed up big time.
- Can you forgive me?
- Sure. I have
already. Come here, give me a hug.
- Father?
- What?
- Can I ask you a question?
- Yes.
- Do you still love me?
- OF COURSE.
- I mean, after everything I’ve done?
- Yes. But I
have to confess something.
- What?
- Sometimes you
make it really hard to love you.
- Really? When do I do that?
- When you
mistreat each other. When you fight each other, humiliate each other, harm and kill
each other. When you show racism and intolerance. When you rape your women.
Worse, when you rape your children. CHILDREN.
- Why don’t you help us?
- I try to help
but you say you don’t need me. You say you can live without me. You say I don’t
even exist.
Silence…
- But there are
moments that you make it easy for me to love you.
- When is that?
- When you love
each other. When you show mercy and forgiveness. When you help each other at
home, at work, even people on the street that you don’t know.
- Yeah. We do that sometimes, right?
- But do you
know what really warms my heart? It is when you obey me. When you do what I
tell you to do. And do you know why?
- Why?
- Because I know
what is good for you. You may not believe it. You may think what I say is
crazy, old-fashioned, stupid, non-sense but I will tell what. Your life will be
much better if you do what I tell you to do.
- But it is hard. It is difficult. There are so many
things that distract us.
- Well, I never
said it would be easy.
- No. You never said that.
- Son, listen to
me. I LOVE YOU. I always have and I always will.
There is not a single creation that is more important than you. And I love you
so much that I gave you the free will, so you don’t have to feel obligated to
love me back. What I give you is real love and what I ask you back is real love
too.
- But like I said before it is hard for me. I don’t
have your strength. I am weak.
- I know. But
obey me and I will make you stronger. Together we will live a wonderful
journey. One that you will never forget.
The
Man in tears hugs his Father.
- I love you too, Daddy.
- I know. Now go.
- Ok. Bye.
- Bye, son.
When the Man is gone…
- Jesus… Jesus…
come here.
- Here I am.
- Wow. That was
fast.
- I was nearby.
- You are always
nearby.
- why did you call me,
Dad?
- Because I need
you to keep an eye in Adam. Be with him. Advise him. Help him.
- Ok, Dad. That would be my pleasure.
- Now, leave me
alone.
- Dad.
- Yes.
!!! HAPPY FATHER’S day
