			My father is but a man
			It took a simple, but heated call from an angry father. A phone call of mistaken identities. It was after-- a man forsaking his arrogance and pride and bathed in tears-- that crumbled my wall of hurt and righteous anger.        I forgave my father.        I was no longer seething in wounds I often mistook for hate. No. I, for the first time in more than a decade, knew no bitter aftertaste with the love I felt for the man.        And it is a lighter love. A free love.        There are still times I do not like him. Times my clenched jaws lead to headaches. But at least, I understand him.        And I love him.
