给父亲的最好的礼物

The older I get, the more sense and sensitivity I have for those of us whose fathers are not with us. There will be no breakfast in bed. Father's Day for us is a time of reflection and memories, would have, could have, should have. This year when you buy him that tie or or give him that card, just know that all he really wants is to spend some time with you. Skip the GPS. Give him a smile, it will fit. Throw in a longer hug -- it's free. Make his day! Tell him you love him, and better yet tell him you respect him or that he's your hero. There are some things this tinsel town shop-a-holic has learned you just can't buy and they're priceless. The first gift your father gives you is life, and it is a circle. No matter how rich or how poor, whether you are the folks next door, Brad and Angelina, Ben and Jen, Tom and Katie, or Will and Jada, one thing is for certain. Life goes on and the circle will turn and the parent will become like the child, and let me tell you payback is a bitch! As I began paying for dinners and trips and driving the car, it allowed my father to become my best friend. Because he knew the tried and true me with all the flaws, through all my mistakes, my happiness was all what mattered, not my financial status, or my sexual proclivity or even that I can be a cranky, controlling, whiney bitch.

Love was always the answer, and when that time came for him to leave us I got to show him just how much I cared and honored him. He had always been active and vibrantwhether hanging at a photo shoot with John Travolta and me, or having a dance at a Hollywood gala with Fran Drescher, or just golfing with his geriatric homeboys. He loved life, and the quality of his life. And I can't count the times he said to me, "If I can't golf, and live with dignity … I don't want to live." There would be no wheelchairs, or life support for this talkative man on the go. (The apple did not fall far from the tree, obviously). So when he suffered a massive stroke, and the doctor said there was no hope for a normal recovery, there would be no more golf, he would be wheelchair-bound and probably would not be able to speak or feed himself I realized as much as I needed him and I didn't want to let go, it wasn't about me and what I wanted. I knew I must honor his wishes and give back his greatest gift to me, unconditional, unselfish love and dignity.
