If you love your father...
-
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-
If you're speaking from own experience, you've got some attitude problems...so to speak. regards, Mircea Many people spend their life going to sleep when they’re not sleepy and waking up while they still are.

Wow man...you sure got some sorry responses to this post. These people can be real pricks sometimes. (Unless you need help :)) I think you got a good point. I liked it. --EricDV Sig--------- Some problems are so complex that you have to be highly intelligent and well informed just to be undecided about them. - Laurence J. Peters

Thanks a lot..you are the only one who is saying something +ve about this post.:rose: To others: is this how you welcome someone(a budding programmer) who is posting a message for the first time? hello?:((
I've only been around for a few months myself, but I've noticed that a person needs a thick skin to be an active member of The Code Project. Don't let it get you down. They're just having fun at your expense. (You'll notice that it can be humorous...when it is happening to someone else. :laugh:) --EricDV Sig--------- Some problems are so complex that you have to be highly intelligent and well informed just to be undecided about them. - Laurence J.

Just because you treated your dad bad, I don't see why you would want to infer that everyone else did so too. Regards, Nish

Nah, they just have underlying father issues. A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!" "However," replied the Universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation." -- Stephen Crane

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

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.

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.
how sad! breeze:)
