I don't have the best relationship with my parents and some of you know that. Doing my usual call to check on my father to see if the ice and snow knocked out power etc....
At the end of the conversation he says to me "hey I just want you to know that I'm proud of the man you became, son you are great father and achieved more than I ever could have, make sure you take the time to enjoy your children more than I did and don't live your life with regrets like I do."
I instantly changed the subject to my regretting not seeing more football games when I was in college and hoping to one day see notre dame play because I live only a couple hours away from south bend.
I don't know what brought that on? I know he is gonna have back surgery again on December 26th. I just don't get it.
I guess it kind of messed with my head. Sorry to post this guys but I honestly don't feel like talking about this with my wife or my buddy's here and some of you guys are more like brothers than my own brothers.
