Actually just talked to my dad (89) today.
We have a lot going on in our lives right now and I was filling him in because he really takes an interest. Kids in college, career changing/ending, moving out of country, selling houses and cars, son getting married, daughter was just hit by another driver... just life, but a LOT of balls in the air right now.
He said, "Boy! I hope you don't need my advice because I don't know what I'd tell you!"
I told him, "Dad, you told me so well all my life that I never wonder if I'm doing the right thing. I just ask myself, 'well, what would dad do?' Then I do that and it always works out right."
Love that man. He's a real hero.
Mine passed away 10 years ago. We butted heads a lot over the years but DAMN I miss him.
It's hard when they pass. My mom passed 5 years ago, she made June Cleaver look like a common gutter slut.
My dad was a serious hard ass, but now I realize it was because I was a serious hard head.
Bravest man I've ever known, and I've known some brave sons a bitches.
Some lessons were beat into us, but they were much needed and well learned.
Ditto that, although we didn't butt heads much as we both got older. The thing is, when you lose a parent, you start living your life not for yourself, but for them. I miss him every fucking day - and he was my #1 fan, Goddess Bless him.
I’m 4 days from losing my father 8 years ago. Not a day goes by he’s not on my mind.
Unfortunately so many things he told me have made more sense since he’s been gone.
Yep, and yep. And to this day, the tools I inherited from him are "Dad's Tools", not mine! You never really get over the loss, you just learn to live with it. Hell, it was at the 10 year point that I looked at my wife one evening, said "Its been 10 years...", and fucking burst into tears. Its now been almost 14, and I don't really wanna talk about it anymore... Still observe both his birth day as well as his death day - it was his 100th birth day last August.
Fun story - in his final year, when we knew the end was coming, I set out to go visit him one day - about 50 miles away. He told me, "You'll think I'm nuts, but do you have a skirt I can borrow?" Brought him one of my more utilitarian ankle length jobs - "You're right, this *IS* comfortable!" True story.
Damn that is so true. Friday would have been my dad’s 85th birthday. We lost him almost two years ago. Miss him more every day.
Ok Y'all need to stop talking about losing parents on this thread... 
I am fortunate to still have both and I am fortunate enough to live right here with them doing my best to help them live their golden years the best they can. They spent the first 18 years of my life taking care of me, now it's my turn to take care of them. I know their years are numbered and I'm trying to do my best to make the time memorable for me and fun for them!
I can honestly tell you raising kids was easier!!!

Yep. I told my dad once, "You brought me into this world, its my job to see you safely out of it." Man, did he create the memories in his last months!
