Ten years ago (exactly, remarkably) Notch wrote about his father on his old blog.
I think it's a beautiful, sad, human piece of writing. It's hard to find online, now that his blog ("The Word of Notch") went away. Someone made a 500+ page PDF backup of his blog, here:
The post, titled "I love you, dad", is the second to last post.
Making beautiful things doesn't make up for saying horrible things. Still, every time I used to hear about the awful stuff Notch posted, I remembered how I felt about him when I read about him and his dad.
I just wish things didn't have to be so awful, for everyone.
