That sounds like a really nice idea.
I totally understand where you are coming from. My parents separated around the time I was 4 or 5 and were divorced shortly after that. My dad knocked up a chick and eventually married her a year after that. A couple years later they had another child and it was pretty much like me and my brother didn't exist. We were supposed to go see him every other weekend but it didn't always work out like that. When he was supposed to pick us up for his weekend he was either late or just didn't show up. My father then got divorced around 1987 and remarried again in 1994. My brother went to live with him when he was about 14 years old (which was a HUGE mistake) and things got worse...this story could go on and on...
Anyway when he divorced his last wife things started changing. He started calling me and even stopped by my house when he was in town. I knew something was up because he was making several trips to the Cleveland Clinic. He's been sick on and off over the past couple of years and I think he's trying to work his way back into my life. BUT just when he starts getting back on track with me he screws up again. His birthday was on Labor Day so I called him to wish him Happy Birthday...I get his voice mail. So after 3 1/2 months after my initial call he FINALLY calls me back.
I'm just worried that one day his is going to get extemely sick and realize that he neglected me and not have time to make things right...
