Forgiveness?

He bought her a little pink computer hoping all would be okay between them. The bad blood between them seemed to be his. She was mad that her father never paid for child support after her mother left him. But what could he do if he didn’t have the money? She just pushes him away without giving another chance. He tries so hard to make it up to her but he gets shot down every time. He loves her so much and always mentions his little girl. But with his daughter not wanting anything to do with him, another willingly tries to help fill the void. Me. Yes, I do love my father but I’m used to not having him around. He was always so busy with work he had to come home late. Sometimes he wouldn’t even be able to come home till the next night. When he’s around I try and utilize all the time I can but it’s never enough time. My “uncle” always treated me as a daughter and I feel bad because he’s such a good man but his own blood won’t take the chance to see the good in him. Knowing how hard he tries and how she doesn’t even take a second glance, I’ve come up with an image of her as cold and heartless. What has the world come to that we can’t even forgive the very blood that runs through us?
I suppose I understand some of her coldness. When family betrays you it hurts more and takes a bigger toll that we thought possible. That one greedy man, who only knows how to take and steal from family, can ruin the relationships that took so long to build up. And yes, I do hold resentment towards him and right now, I can’t see myself forgiving him. I just need time and that may be just what she needs too. Who knows how long it’ll take for him to be forgiven but all that he can do now is wait.
Waiting just takes too long. It seems we spend most of our lifetime waiting for things to happen. Why not take action? Why not be the first to act? Because it gets scary… It makes people feel uneasy and anxious. People usually stray from the unknown. They don’t like not knowing because it puts them at a disadvantage. But that’s life, not knowing the unknown.
