Key Points
Growing up, my father was frugal, serious, and hardly ever emotional.After a near-death experience from ananeurysm, he now says "I love you" much more often.The change made me see him more fully as a person and reminded me I still had room to grow...
My grandmother once told me that my dad used to be an outgoing, boisterous child..
These words from my father who showed little emotion and rarely said "I love you" felt surreal..
I kept hearing my father's words in my head: "It's hard to watch people you love when they are in pain.".
But when I witnessed his vulnerability, I saw him more fully.. Even though I see myself as someone who's comfortable with vulnerability, witnessing my father become more open has reminded me that I still have room to grow..
