Give your dad a call

Postby rlyons » Sat Jan 27, 2007 9:23 pm

Anyone who is luck enough to still have one, take the time and call or go to visit your dad or mother just to tell them how much they mean to you and spend some time with them before it is too late. I know this because I held my dad's hand and watched him take his last breath Friday. You tend to think a dad is forever until this happens and then it is hard to believe you will never see him again in this life. You begin to think of all the times you didn't go to see him and spend time with him because you had something that was more important to do that day or your work had to come first,well I know now that nothing is more important than family and no job is more important because no amount of money will by time on earth. Every day from now on I will hug my children, visit or call my mother and make sure my wife knows just how special she is and how much I love them all. Just venting some sorrow and grief and trying to keep anyone who cares to read this from going through the regrets I have now.

rlyons my thoughts are with you Sir. I have had a hell of a time with my folks over the years, we have not always been on speaking terms but I know exactly what your talking about here. It sure strikes a place in my heart and mind... My best goes out to You and Yours.

just got back online this morning from the weekend. man, i can't say that i know how you feel, but i can tell you i'm not looking forward to when i can. dad and i have a great relationship (along with my three brothers). we talk 3-4 times a week and i can honestly say whatever happens, there will be no regret for time not spent.

my prayers and condolences to you and your family.

rlyons, sorry to hear about your dad. At least he knows you cared enough to be there.
