But, our Dads, as parents, fully understood the sacrifices we took upon ourselves and had to make for our new families. So don't kick yourself too hard. They got it. <br /><br />I miss my Dad too.

We went to see him when the doctor's told him he had about six months. As we were leaving, I said we would be back out in a few weeks. He said not to bother, as he and my mother would come see us. A month later he was gone. Take the time to say what needs to be said. Don't wait. I kick myself quite often for not ignoring him and going to see him one more time.

Mrs. S...Ben, thanks. I hope you had a great day! <br /><br />Mrs. Scoffs, depending on the personalities involved, it may be good or bad to have Dad there every day. I'll bet he loves it. It is probably easy to take his presence for granted when you see him every day. My father in law lives with us. I'll ask the Irish Redhead what she thinks about that.<br /><br />MLM.Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898845239082082494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573430815753455393.post-48157819656151813402009-06-21T15:22:56.309-07:002009-06-21T15:22:56.309-07:00I see my dad almost every day so it's a bit we...I see my dad almost every day so it's a bit weird to go all mushy every time I see him. But because today was "special" I gave him an extra kiss and hug.
