I'm not close with my father, I didn't grow up with him...we are only friends on Facebook. We don't really speak. He will occasionally like a photo or two. And even though he lives an hour and a half from me he hasn't seen my in the 8 years that I've lived in my state, nor did he come when my daughter was born in April. His excuse? His wife was sick. She's not chronically sick, I'm sure it was just a cold.
