My friends dad died really suddenly in a car accident last night.
They never really got along and he is in his 30's now, but over the last year or two, they really made an effort to sort of get to know each other a bit more. Slowly but surely, they started to gain a bit of an understanding of what the other was about I think. They had a long way to go though.
Life is way to short to let personal hang ups get in the way of people who, in the end, you know care about you and that you care about.
I have some phone calls to make today I think.

a few weeks ago, i got in a huge fight with my father about the way i live my life. i seriously considered not talking to him ever again. but luckily, fathers day came around and i decided to visit him. i told him i love him for the first time in probably thirty years.
a few days ago, i found out my ex is getting married. we were together for 5 years, engaged. we broke up 18 months ago. i'm still not over it. not only is she over it, not only has she moved on, but she's getting married in september. it hurts a lot.
My condolences to your friend Marie. I just celebrated my dad's 68th last night. With every passing year it freaks me out that one of these days he won't be around.

Sorry to bring it down, but Marie is spot on.
My mother comitted suicide when she was 63. She was blinded in car accident at 19,brought up 2 kids and she was the strongest person I ever met. Unfortunately, the last time we spoke, it didn't finish on the best of terms.
I'm not looking for sympathy or understanding, shit happens to everyone, just a word to the wise. Don't make the same mistake I did, it truly, truly sucks.
I hear all of you...I tried the whole time my dad was alive...now 8 years later..even as big of an ass as he was...I still wish I could pick up the phone and hear him laugh..
Dont put it off...good or bad relationships...none of us is guaranteed time... Sorry Marie-Eve....my thoughts and prayers to your friend and their family...
