Funny as hell and on some real shyt. I popped up on my Dad for some reason 3 weeks before he passed. I was 28 at the time and had never really kicked it with him as an adult. Especially with me living in California and him back home in Dallas. We drank and smoked cigarettes all night just talking about any and everything and in a round about way it was him apologizing for not being present in my life ( he was a great provider tho), but he told it through his hilarious story telling. And I got it and promised I'd come back to visit more often. But he passed 3 weeks later of a simple abscess in his mouth that he was complaining about while I was there. Simple antibiotics would've knocked it right out. I was with him for 2 days I went and filled up his refrigerator with groceries, we cooked, ate, drank beer. I'll always have that moment especially with the way I just chose to fly home randomly and was able to capture those moments. I was the last of his 4 children to see him before he passed. Like it was written, all my sisters had a bigger relationship with him due to proximity so they saw him all the time. But me, the only son catching him 3 weeks before he died was surreal.

Even when my dad was dying from lung cancer and i would ask him how he holding up, he would be like im feeling good, how is LeBron holding up with the lakers and how mom is doing… he wouldn’t talk about himself

Im just like that with my nieces and nephews since I don’t have kids

My dad was never around so I can’t relate from that perspective. Got a son who’s 2. Before him I was pretty hardened and closed off but have changed with him. Hope to have a close relationship with him as he grows where he can talk to me openly about anything and we can make great father/son memories :mjcry:

This is some REAL SHYT.

My Unc had a health scare and I was trying to be there and help him and all he was fussing over was me and making sure I was ok. I was like “man, I’m grown I got this. This is about YOU” and he wouldn’t hear it.

Always strong, no matter what 😥😓

It is tough for men of that generation to be vulnerable especially if the were good men. Their lives revolved around protecting their families and providing for them. Going out with their boots on and no complaints.

My Pops is still alive and though we never had a great relationship we talk every once in a while. Called him randomly last week and he sounded like he really appreciated it. I'm trying my hardest to have a better relationship with my sons. Pretty sure I'm already doing 10 times more with my sons than he ever did with me. I'm doing everything possible to break that cycle.

This is my first turkey day without my father. He passed November ’23. Still can’t look at his pictures :mjcry: .

This morning someone sent me a pic of him & I’m thinking about unfollowing her.
Is that you and him in your avi?

I’m in Mississippi right now with my mom and pops. We were rocky when I was a teen but hell who wasn’t. Man has told me and my brother he’s proud of the men we became several times since we’ve been grown. I call him once a week, he complain about the Saints, talk about his truck (y’all see a pattern in here lol) catch me up on the family, and ask if we need anything. Great man. Thankful that we got him :mjcry:
