Id like to start this off by saying Thanks Kevin for leaving out his other 3 sons Casey Turner, James Borden and Myself. Rodger Dale Borden JR. Also, you left out his brother Gary his wife and kids… but anyways, MY Father has not been involved in my life for several years. I recall last taking a bi state bus to see him after 15 years of him being absent from my life to invite him to my High School Graduation. Not once did he look me in the eyes. He just kept doing the dishes. I sat thinking what did i do wrong to him for him to resent me… to up and forget about me? What did i donto become such a burden on his life? I AM his FIRST BORN SON. I tried to establish a relationship with my dad, yet here i was turned away. I carried so much anger, so much hurt, so much heaviness in my heart for years and years. I have cone to learn, that a person can spend your life harnessing all that anger all that pain, all of that disappointment of not feeling good enough or loved. carrying a grudge around and for what? Oh, thats right not only in life but also in death, that once again i have been forgotten, casted out, resented, and completely invisible. I also recall that when I was younger, my brother Jay and i was ar his baseball game, i fell down the bleachers busting my head open. My dad always had fear and anxiety of doctors and hospitals… so whats my dad do, he drops me off ar the hospital at the front entrance and a doc comes out to het me because he wouldn’t step foot in there… so, yeah not many memories of him sadly hut sad ones. Why would a son miss a man who didnt miss him back? Ill tell you why, because, even underneath all of that hurt all of that pain, all of that anger…: i wanted a dad and i never got him. I was denied and deprived of that lifestyle. My MOM WAS MY DAD! but yet i still after all these years LOVED THE MAN. After all, He did have part bringing me into this world. So, here’s to you Dad. Cancer is an awful enemy. I am truly sorry that you left this world in such a crappy style. You are loved, even for your past. And I Forgive You Dad. Rest Peacefully.
