Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I can't stand my old man to be honest. I've not had anything to do with him for a long time now. I've got enough problems of my own to have him making things even more difficult. Me and my family are better off without having him around anyhow. He's selfish to the point that it just leaves you gobsmacked and it's a shame to say that but the way things are, the next time I see him will probably be at his funeral unless I die before him and if that was the case I wouldn't want him turning up to see me off. I do think it has made me realise just how precious my kids and other family members are though, so I thank him for that much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbithunter 456 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 just wish mine was still here, not a night goes by where he's not in my dreams sure, he liked a drink, dont most of us? Perhaps thats what cause his illness (kidney cancer), but who knows? he wasnt an alko, just liked a few pints after work we had our ups & downs. but he was a great dad, got me into ferreting etc.... my dad, a real man.

Hollie 21 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 My dad is my hero, i always was a daddies girl, i used to walk for miles and miles as a small child with my dad and his Lurcher simply because i adored him and wanted to be with him, my mum was and still is straight with me that he wasn't the best partner he could have been but he was always the best dad he could be (and still is) My 5yr old daughter ADORES her daddy yet he only see's her every other weekend, even though he lives 6 miles up the road and is his own boss very sad for her and for me! Nothing like my dad! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
