    I don't drink, I don't smoke, I swim about 5 miles a week, and I like to lift weights. But, I weigh 240, eat like a horse, drink soda like water, and exist as a computer programmer. What's the expression, "God grant me the strength to change what I can, to accept what I cannot change and the wisdom to know the difference". Of course I bought two motorcycles this year and a truck. So am definately aiming on dying broke. A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!"

      ROTFL. I have to admit, I brought 2 pairs of pants on this US trip and one doesn't fit anymore.

          When you were 8 years old, your dad handed you an ice cream You thanked him by dripping it all over his lap. When you were 9 years old, he paid for piano lessons. You thanked him by never even bothering to practice. When you were 10 years old, he drove you all day, from soccer to gymnastics to one birthday party after another. You thanked him by jumping out of the car and never looking back. When you were 11 years old, he took you and your friends to the movies. You thanked him by asking to sit in a different row. When you were 12 years old, he warned you not to watch certain TV shows. You thanked him by waiting until he left the house. When you were 13, he suggested a haircut that was becoming. You thanked him by telling him he had no taste. When you were 14, he paid for a month away at summer camp. You thanked him by forgetting to write a single letter. When you were 15, he came home from work, looking for a hug. You thanked him by having your bedroom door locked. When you were 16, he taught you how to drive his car. You thanked him by taking it every chance you could. When you were 17, he was expecting an important call. You thanked him by being on the phone all night. When you were 18, he cried at your high school graduation. You thanked him by staying out partying until dawn. When you were 19, he paid for your college tuition, drove you to campus, carried your bags. You thanked him by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends. When you were 25, he helped to pay for your wedding, and he cried and told you how deeply he loved you. You thanked him by moving halfway across the country. When you were 50, he fell ill and needed you to take care of him. You thanked him by reading about the burden parents become to their children. And then, one day, he quietly died. And everything you never did came crashing down like thunder on YOUR HEART. -G-

          I lost my dad when I was 21. You would think I would have been better towards him because I lost my mom when I was 14. But I still took him for granted. What I wouldn't give to relive some of those moments.

                                Or not. The jist of the post seems to be: you've mistreated your father over and over when he was there for you. You'll be sorry when he's gone. I'm not speaking for everyone, but those with a good relationship with their father might met such a message with a little resentment. At any rate, I'll be more generous and interpret the post as simply saying, "Don't take those you love for granted." I can identify with that message as I watch my parents grow older and try to appreciate each and every day I have with them.

                                  Yes, based on your first post, if that was really how you treated your dad, you do have an attitude problem. Regards, Nish

                                      Well, read these and then ask yourself how your posting comes across. GFather[^] GFather 2[^] "Yes I know the voices are not real. But they have some pretty good ideas."

                                        When you were 8 years old, your dad handed you an ice cream You thanked him by dripping it all over his lap. When you were 9 years old, he paid for piano lessons. You thanked him by never even bothering to practice. When you were 10 years old, he drove you all day, from soccer to gymnastics to one birthday party after another. You thanked him by jumping out of the car and never looking back. When you were 11 years old, he took you and your friends to the movies. You thanked him by asking to sit in a different row. When you were 12 years old, he warned you not to watch certain TV shows. You thanked him by waiting until he left the house. When you were 13, he suggested a haircut that was becoming. You thanked him by telling him he had no taste. When you were 14, he paid for a month away at summer camp. You thanked him by forgetting to write a single letter. When you were 15, he came home from work, looking for a hug. You thanked him by having your bedroom door locked. When you were 16, he taught you how to drive his car. You thanked him by taking it every chance you could. When you were 17, he was expecting an important call. You thanked him by being on the phone all night. When you were 18, he cried at your high school graduation. You thanked him by staying out partying until dawn. When you were 19, he paid for your college tuition, drove you to campus, carried your bags. You thanked him by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends. When you were 25, he helped to pay for your wedding, and he cried and told you how deeply he loved you. You thanked him by moving halfway across the country. When you were 50, he fell ill and needed you to take care of him. You thanked him by reading about the burden parents become to their children. And then, one day, he quietly died. And everything you never did came crashing down like thunder on YOUR HEART. -G-

                                          That is the reason that I always want to make my parent feel happy. Because I don't want to regret in the future. Whether I generate some small amount of an income but I still try to save for them and purchase something for them there is a happy new year or national holiday. I want to make them happy and be a good son.
