I don't sleep well, don't care why anymore and there is an added bonus to my early wakeful hours. I watch tv in the wee hours. Usually HBO has really interesting stuff on early Sunday mornings. I have seen a lot of thought provoking documentaries in the quiet of the morning. This morning I saw "Shot in the Dark". I was just so focused on the whole thing. Though I knew my dad, he was kinda like Adrian's moms dad. Was the sperm donor and that's all, though he was married to my mom until he died 7 years ago. In my own life as a woman, my ex husband has pretty much relinquished his responsibilities as a dad and my youngest is pretty much being raised by me. My older two are well on their way with their lives but there are scars that their dad left that will never go away. Funny, how I hadn't thought about these things until I saw Adrian's piece this morning. I cried as he awkwardly talked to his dad on the phone, when he met and they shot a scene focusing on both the dad and Adrian's legs. (Adrian's were shaking), it was all so pongiant. Brought back all kinds of memories. I don't know when he shot this but I do know it touched me deeply. I realized that though I knew my father and my kids know theirs, there isn't too much difference in our stories. They are all sad like Adrian's. The fact is, we all share one factor. We never really had the love of our fathers. It is painful, we cover up the scars and move on hoping we make better choices in our own adult lives. I have been shopping this morning already, Adrian's haunting look still stays with me. My own son, 17 years old and sicker than a dog this last week, is on the couch watching tv, a smile on his face when I come in through the door with all the "mom" medicines and juices he needs. I love him so much my heart is suddenly full of love for him and a little sadness that his father still thinks being a Disneyland dad will be enough. Thank you Adrian for making "A Shot in the Dark". No more darkness huh? You definitely shine. Sincerely Gloria Rose Good morning

This morning I saw “Shot in the Dark”. I was just so focused on the whole thing. Though I knew my dad, he was kinda like Adrian’s moms dad. Was the sperm donor and that’s all, though he was married to my mom until he died 7 years ago. In my own life as a woman, my ex husband has pretty much relinquished his responsibilities as a dad and my youngest is pretty much being raised by me. My older two are well on their way with their lives but there are scars that their dad left that will never go away.
