some anger.
some regret.
a little ashamed."
I had the same feelings when my father passed away too. I think most people must have them, because it's really hard for them not to feel that they didn't do enough, didn't talk to them enough, didn't learn from them enough, didn't make them proud enough.
But your father helped make you, and I think you've grown into a good, kind person and a good friend to have... and I think that's more than enough.
We're all imperfect people trying to make our way through the world, and we all have to deal with our own demons. Your father had his, no doubt. The good thing is, we don't have to let our father's demons become our own. That's not to say we won't have to face our own demons, however.
Learn from your father, appreciate the times you've shared, the gifts he has given you, and the lessons he has taught you. He has lived his life. Take time to reflect on and honor that life, and, after suitable reflection, go forward and live your own.
