>>470955761My dad did it enough for both of us, bro.
He's 68 now, and I barely get to spend any time with him because I'm poor and have to work all the fucking time.
Each day I don't spend hanging out with him is a day I'll never get back Time passes so fast, and keeps passing faster and faster (I'm 36) I'm watching my father get old in front of me, and I don't have the time to spend hanging out.
He lives 15 fucking miles from me and I see him, maybe, once a month. It makes me feel like the worst son ever. and I can't fucking do anything about it. I work nights and sleep days (recording engineer)
He always tries to figure out ways we can hang out, but there is never any fucking time to do it. He bought an iPhone and learned texting just so we could communicate. Sends me emails of lulzy things on the internet because he knows what the internet is for. Checks out the music I am in to and sends me texts so we can pick it apart (we are both musicians) talks to me about the loudness wars and digital compression even though I know he doesn't really get it. Talks to me about politics, and supports what I believe in though I know inside he really doesn't.
These threads, and especially those Pokemon gifs kill me. I don't even know what I am going to do when he is gone. I can't even explain how hard I am crying right now. My father has sacrificed so much for me that I don't even know how to talk about it.
I love you /b/ even though you make me feel like this sometimes. Thanks for being there.
