I'm too busy doing fun thngs with my own Son

a man without a son has missed out on life's greatest joy

[brandon92]

Absolutely. Out riding back roads, sometimes we’d get lost on purpose just to find our way back. Or at least he pretended to be lost. Sometimes we’d drive for hours just to try some family owned restaurant in a tiny town we’d heard about.

He worked all the time and made **** money but if he ever had a Saturday off we’d go on adventures. He’d always pull up to the atm and take out cash for the day, and give me some money to buy myself something while we were out. Good times man.

That's it right there. Gives me some ideas to do with my girls as well. I like that getting lost thing. My girls would eat that up lol.

My dad used to take me and my friends down this old dirt road to this old train bridge we called the trussells. We'd jump off the bridge swim down the rive. Go on the rope swing and whatnot. Then afterward we went to the 7/11 and got slushies. Dad would always do crazy drifting on the old dirt road too. Was a a blast.

[mikebadg3]

miss my dad boyos

I took him on dump runs a few times before he got sick. Good times

[Jaydawg08]

Yes I do. It's the little things.. car rides to the liquor store, or when we would jam out to old school R&B while he would cut our hair and spit stories/knowledge.

When I was really little he used to tell us Sunday afternoon stories. We would lay down and he'd tell us to close our eyes and he would go on for 45 min to an hour about the adventures of him and his cat "Shaka" and all the crazy things they would get into. Man had a way of telling stories and I still remember at some point there was always Limburger cheese involved in every story lol. Such a random McGuffin but every time we would be waiting for it and would get all excited when it finally came up cause we knew that's when the story was gonna get really good

Going to give my Dad a call when I get out of work to catch up, thanks for this thread, OP. Moving across the country only had one big downside, being away from family.

My parents divorced when I was about 5, so it really sucked. He didn't have much between child support for 2 kids and paying his way himself, but weekends with him were still a blast. We used to play Nintendo, watch movies and I'd help him out at his baseball card shows. We would go to family gatherings (on his side obviously) and his parents owned a cottage up in Cape cod. We used to go there once every summer. Good times.

This is part of what life is all about man. And this is how the saying goes......."pops' legacy lives on and gets passed to the next generation"

Miss my pops. He was an integral part of my life since childhood. Till the time he died, I still always called him for life's toughest decisions.

This is why I dont trade money for time with my kids. One prerequisite for me to have a family was to be financially independent prior to having kids. That way I could spend a good amount of time with them to help them build their character and have memories such as this thread is reminiscing.

[blueberryboy]

Yup
Miss when we would go to hockey games together

Miss when he would take me to my hockey games and watch me play then grab lunch / dinner / whatever after the game

[iloveus]

Pulling me by my ear and slamming my head against the toilet whenever I got bad grades

Fun times ...

[AncientYouth]

my dad rolled me down a hill in an Old tyre everyday in 1978.............................................. .............................it was a GOODYEAR

[KathleenRyan]

Cherish your parents while you have 'em, boyos.

Dreading the day I lose them, enjoying the time I have now.

[friesbruh]

Yup. we used to do manly type chit. He'd show me how to wire outlets, put up drywall, build stuff. Wood go canoeing, camping, go on road trips, phuck just go drive around and explore. Now we've all grown up & no one gets together for ****

As Tracy Lawrence says........ Time Marches On.

[tartface]

Yes. Dad loved to travel around the state and would always have plans for the weekends. Also taught us how to play instruments. Fuk. Good memories.

[TealCat]

[IlChosenOne]

ITT: everyone’s dad was a tradie



Some of my earliest memories from about age 5 and 6 are fishing and shooting guns with my dad, going “hunting” which was really just walking around in the woods and mountains and looking at birds, playing Super Nintendo together, watching early to mid 90’s the Simpsons, playing cribbage and poker

Are you me?

So many of your posts make me think "Didn't I just write that?".

Nothing worse than losing a parent, especially when it's unexpected. It's been over a decade and there are still moments in time, or events in my life where I think "Man I really wish I could tell my Dad what just happened today"

[mvitz]

My Dad passed away 3 days before Christmas and yesterday was officially 2 months. His birthday is this Thursday, he would have been 85. I am still grieving pretty much every day. I miss him so much.

I remember going to my grandparents farm update and spending the day hanging out in the sunshine and shooting a 22 at clay targets he made. I remember going to the dump with him on Saturdays.I miss be able to go to him and ask for advice on pretty much anything. You should have heard the stories he used to tell of growing in the Great Depression.

I miss him dearly and am still crying....

You can make his life great. Good for you. A kid with good parents has the best foundation.

[TheGoldenBull]
