Just a point- My Dad was in the military, traveled without the family and he lived his entire middle age years regretting that he was nota part of our lives. I think it really ate him up. He never sat down and spoke to us girls about it but it would eek out at certain times and he was so melancholy about it.

I'm glad I was able to tell him how great a Dad he was just a few days before he died unexpectedly. That was divine intervention. I wish I had him now so that he could enjoy his grandson more than he was able to and we could reassure him taht he was a great Dad.
