    It works the same with Dad. I was 30 when he died. Many times I have wished he was here to talk something over with.Mom is still here, but it's not the same.

    I think everyones parents go through this low ebb of intelligence and then get smarter as you age. My dad and I had a really good relationship. He's been gone several years and I still wonder how he would handle some things that I stumble over. My son and I are just as confortable with each other and have a lot of the same interests, we are both gun toting rednecks. I think that is one of lifes real gifts to have that kind of relationship with your kids. I consider myself to be extremely fortunate. I tell him that I changed his pants and took care of him for 20 years and it's only right that he changes my pants and takes care of me for the next 20. LOL

    I lost my dear Mother when I was 11, am 67 now and still miss her today. She has used a peach tree on my bare legs many the time and brought the blood. dadgum my aggravating timeshe should have been using a 2x4. If I could have her back today, I would gladly let her beat me with her weapon of choice for 2 hoursand 55 minutes if I could just hug her neck for the next 5 minutes. She truly loved me,and thats not easy to do!

    This topic reminds me of the time when I was absoulely floored when my dad asked me for advice on an insurance policy shortly after I reached the ripe old age of 20. He's been a business man with a business degree for as long as I can remember and has always made sound conservative financial decisions. Talk about an ego trip!
