I consider this a wake up call for myself as well. Realizing your dad has passed , as has most of my friends dads , has made me realize I need to listen to him more and respect his words . They'll come a day that I will no longer have him and will have wished I was a better son. He considers me a good son but I don't see myself as one when I get him upset. Maybe I just want to be seen as an adult since I'll be 53 in February but I will always be his son . I must therefore realize I'm still to respect and take my orders from him. Now if I can only relay this message to one or two of my other brothers , that will be helpful as well. I believe they care , but can do better. Respecting how you've reared your daughter ( and any children you may have) , it is clear that , yes , you've become your dad . Since you've grown and gained education to his approval and your daughter to yours , I'd have to say your dad has done a great job in rearing you all ! Great job dad ! I know he would have wanted it this way . Hey , I think this talk has woke up a part of me and helped me to mature a bit . Want to thank you especially for these special words at this time . A very special holiday season to you and your family . Thank you for all . Greg .
P.S. - your 100% correct regarding the trouble in this country . Family value has been raped and pillaged by rap music and video games . Sounds a little like our generation ? Lol .
