As you got older did u look up to him? Hate him more? Feel sorry for him because hes getting older?

after you have your own kid, you begin to understand why he was prematurely balding.

as you get older, you develop a greater respect for what your parents do on a daily basis.

---WARNING: MY EMO RESPONSE---

i honestly think that i took him for granted until i got the call that he'd be on the heart donor list last year. since then, i've tried to take every moment with him for all it's worth.

he ended up not having a heart transplant due to a donor mitral valve. so that was a releif.

An Emo response is more like-

Quote:

My dad (The Colonel) always suppressed me and wouldn't let my express myself. I f*cking hate that son of a b1tch, and it makes me laugh everytime I embarrass him when our neighbors see the cuts on my arms.

Your response was just maybe emotional, which as I understand it, is only one aspect of being 'emo'.

You are actually quite normal sounding. It's nice to hear you realized how important your dad was to you BEFORE it was too late.

My dad-
I went from looking up to him, to looking down on him (hypocritically) and now I really don't see things as up or down... I just accept him as he is (which isn't a bad thing). I think he brags too much and he thinks everything he does is great, but he is also really cool, fun, caring, and has lots of cool advice about cars, women, and stuff like that. Everybody has their strong traits, and I've grown to really like my dad (most of the time). Still... I could stand to end the converstation and hang up the phone a good 10 minutes earlier some days, other days not though

<---which I think is normal. Since he lives in another state, I'd like to spend more time with him.

I hated my Dad growing up, he was ALWAYS in a bad mood, then I worked for him for 18 years!!!!!!!! enough said there trust me!!!!!!!

It has not been until recently that I can hold a conversation with him, but since I took over the business and he has retired, things are slowly turning around.

My Dad just turned 81 last week
