14 years old: Don't mind my dad. He's so old-fashioned!.

25 years old: Dad may know a little bit of that, but otherwise, he's already his age.

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.

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.

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!!!![]()
