Reunion by John Cheever, Richard Ford

The narrator of the story requested to meet his father again after not seeing each other for 3 years due to his parent's divorce. He starts to realize throughout this meeting that his father is now a stranger to him and not at all what he remembered.
This story makes me think about my own life. I haven't seen my dad in just about 11 years - though not due to divorce or anything like that. He passed away when I was 16. This story makes me wonder what it would be like after all these years to see him again - except in this scenario, I would be the stranger. My dad would obviously be just as I last remember him being since no time would have passed for him, but time would have for me. Would we have some of that same awkwardness with what to talk about and so on?
Anyways, this story does make you think about the parallels to your own life. If you do not have any, maybe imagine them. This was a good, short read.
