What would you say to your father if you could?

If you'd quit smoking them ****ing Players Plain 30 years ago, maybe you'd still be alive, you miserable stubborn bugger.
Thanks for always doubting me when I was a teenager. Thanks for never giving me any credit for 90% in school, when I could have had 100%, according to you. Thanks for driving me away. All the way to Canada.
But I loved you, anyways. First thing I did when I returned to the old country was visiting your grave, say a prayer and place flowers.
Rest in peace, Dad.

Shut that damned idiot box off and get outside and play. He's in his eightys now and still fancies he can punch.
I already did.
Called him a son of a bitch in all the bit of languages I knew . Him giving me orders how he wanted a job to be done which conflicted with some forgotten details he didn't see that I had to deal with and being presssed for time to get it done.
So no I don't have anything held back.

You taught us many things. We are kind, caring and law abiding. We take in stray animals and stray people. No regrets, just love and respect. Thanks for all you did for us, and for making us the people we are today. You had such a big heart, that it gave out at 45. Miss you lots.
I would say only this: I love you, I should have said so more often, and you should have too. It would have made a difference.
Gawd I miss him. There was nothing he didn't know something useful and interesting about, I wish he were still here to talk to. He's been gone for 19 years, and still there's hardly a day goes by that I don't think of him.

"ANYONE CAN BE A FATHER, IT TAKES SOMEONE SPECIAL TO BE A DAD"
My condolences to all who lost their Dads.
I thank god every day my Dad is still here. He is 72 now, and I know I will be a major basket case when I lose him.
Happy Father's Day to my Dad (on Sunday). I love you with all my heart.
Dexter, your post brought tears to my eyes.
My sons are adults now and they grew up without their Dad. He passed away when our oldest was 4 1/2, middle was 3 and our youngest was 1 1/2.

21 years for mine....he died on Father's Day. It's the day I became a man.
My Dad, was born in 1900. He died in 1983. He and I shared a love for little things like puttering in the garage and fishing, and an abiding interest in how things work. His influence led me into engineering. He has been gone for twenty six years and I still think of him just about every day. When a new gadget comes out I think of him and wonder what he might think of it and miss him. I will always miss him.
What I would say there isn't room for here. There are things I said that I wish I hadn't, things I didn't do that I wish I had. I shouldn't have said "those who can, do, those who can't, teach", as I left teaching for hands on work, (my dad was a teacher). My dad loved flying, I should've taken him up in the Otter, even though it stank of gas and fish guts, when he came to visit me up north. He taught me personal responsibility, duty, and to keep my word, and that you may have to drive a great distance to find good draught beer. He encouraged me to marry the girl I've been married to these many years. We were all with him when he passed at home, on mom's birthday, 4 months before my first child was born. But that night I said something that I had never said before, "I love you dad", he replied, "I love you too son, more than you'll ever know".
Thanks Dad :cheers:
