On Giving Yourself A Well-Deserved Pat on the Back Once in a While
I'm most specially grateful for every feedback I receive from people who go out of their way to read the writings I've been doing. One particular article that meant a lot to me when I was writing it was about my relationship with my late Father. It's about "loving under difficult circumstances" (the article has the same title, btw). I wrote it actually hoping my material would be selected by the Publisher who asked to write about the topic. It ended not being chosen and has since then transitioned to regular pages online, where it can probably earn more from views and hits from readers in the long run. I'm just grateful, too, that it still remains on top of other articles (of the same title), after having been rated by other writers. It's not strictly all about Christianity's doctrines and issues, but it's holding on to its current ranking (as of this writing) for some other reason. Can you tell me your thoughts on this, too?
Some of the comments I received for this article are quoted below:
Your story was written with vivid detail. I too an n adult child of an alcoholic who died from LEUKEMIA. I recognize every thing you wrote about to be true. These candid revelations will surely help someone by letting them know, they were not the only ones who bore this abusive tragic life. I was ashamed for most of my life to even speak of my father's disease or verbal abuse. I grew up believing I was a burden and useless. Thank you for sharing part of your story. It shows you are courageous and explains this phenomena in detail.
God bless you,

you deserve to be no. 1 in this article, looks like fiction but so real for those who were a part of the story, keep up the good work, big brod
I've been touched most deeply by all these comments. Needless to say, writing this article has been actually a great moving on experience for me. My having seized the opportunity of baring personal stories from my own life has been worth exposing myself in the process. It's just been a great relief telling all these stories while I still am able to remember them.
