So as you died you said you were disappointed in me.. I knew your mind was being poisoned .. Little by little Day by day. By those who wanted to keep us at bay.. I am not blind I could see. I wanted to pick up that phone Tell you I loved you every single day.. I wanted to run to your side Fight for my rights Fight for my share Fight for my love. But I knew it wasn't there.. Besides to fight your family was not the right way.. I thought I had proved my love enough throughout the years.. but in the end nothing mattered .. you died as I had feared.. I knew you were leaving me again.. This time forever.. But it was not my fault alone that we were not together.. Yes, I hid away afraid.. not knowing what to say. But why would that surprise you.. Father and daughter ...........it was always our way. ERICA Sorry Pops.. I really did try.

You tried every way you knew to no avail. It is not you fault what happened. And your Father expressing disappointed to you knowing he was leaving this mortal coil was just his last way -- his last shot at making you feel bad and leaving you like this. Not your fault. Get up and wipe the dirt off your knees and put on clean socks.
Walk away from this with your head up high
without a single tear in your eye. He does not deserve one tear. Bill Murray

The Libra Solution: Shedding Excess and Redefining Success by Lisa DAnnolfo Levey

The familiar lament of dual-career parents raising children is, "I just can't do it all." The Libra Solution provides an alternative - a more satisfying and sustainable work and life approach - to the overwrought modern day norm.
