really strange - still want to call him when times are really good/ or bad.

and I've taken care of my Mom since then.

Tell your folks you do love them whenever you get the chance.
My pop was only 64 when he passed away; and was alot
healthier at the time than my Mom has ever been.

It's hard to believe when you're a young pup, but life goes
pretty fast. So, enjoy it all while you can.

My Dad is good. I think he tried a bit too hard at times due to some issues he had with his father. Now in my adulthood we're kind of in a weird generational gap thing and religious gap. He became really religious, I became quite a bit less. Its also weird, because at 23 he had been married to my mom for two years, where I at 23 am no where near getting married.

That and I'm in Japan, which weirds him out a bit.

[Doofy]

My dad is...

..absent since birth. What an a-hole.

[Ratm]

My Dad is the best. A true friend.

[Kevin]

He has helped me even when I didn't deserve it.

[RAILhead]

My Dad and I are best friends. We hang out all the time, eat breakfast every Saturday morning together, golf, work, build things, etc.

[Cubeoid]

Building things is good.

[analogika]

My dad died two years ago at age 68. I miss him a lot, some days, which is good.

[esXXI]

A horrible selfish bastard, unfortunately.

[KeriVit]

My dad is a great man. Not necessarily my best friend at all times, but I think he is the greatest father in the world.

[nredman]

my dad is great, i wouldn't call him my best friend but he is always there if you need him. as i get older i can see more and more of my dad in me...the good and the bad.

[Shaddim]

Incredible human being, and the most decent person I know. In many ways I wish I were more like him.

We're about to build a massive wardrobe for a stage prop. Nothing too fancy due to the prop budget and the fact it's only a prop, but it'll be about 9 feet tall, 8 feet wide, 5 feet deep, and have full molding and sculpting. Inside will be other props of sorts, like a tunnel, and it'll be awesome when it's done.

You doing Narnia as a play?

[Cubeoid]

I hope you and your dad have a great time together building the wardrobe Maury.

My dad is pretty cool. He's really into cars and boats and fixing things or modifying things, which is pretty much where I got it from. I really like doing things with him, but it's always kinda hard to feel close unless we're working on something together.

[ort888]

Best friend? No. Great great guy? Yes.

[ghporter]

My dad is really great, but he's not my best friend. We are friends, no doubt about it, but not "best friends." We just don't share the same sort of interests at the moment, and he lives in Michigan while I live in Texas. That kind of alters the friendship equation.

Seriously: “Good, he tries”, I guess. I've always had sort of an odd relationship with my parents. I've never been in a fight with them, for instance (we've had arguments, but they haven't needed to yell at me, and I haven't yelled at them more than perhaps once or twice), and I've always called them by their first names rather than 'mom' and 'dad', even when I was very small (this perhaps also because my mom died when I was five, and I would feel very odd calling my stepmother 'mom').

We're on very good terms, but we're not particularly close, and due to the distance (they live in Sweden, I live in Denmark) we don't see each other more than a few times a year. Watching them grow older (though neither of them are even 50 yet) does scare me a little, though; probably more so because I see it so clearly, 'cause I see them so rarely.

You should enjoy you father each and every day. Each day is a gift. I lost my father in 1975 at that age.

We're using it as a theme for the month of December.

The way our church is set up, you enter through the outside doors into a foyer, and then there's a set of door to go though to get into the auditorium. I'm building the front of the wardrobe onto this entrance, maybe a foot or so off the wall. On the other side of the wall (inside the auditorium), I'm building the back — which will be about 4 feet deep, dark, full of coats, etc (like in the book). People will come out the other side, into the auditorium, by walking through black cloth — and then the auditorium will be "decorated" with all of our other props to make it match the atmosphere of the book/movie.

It should be pretty freaking cool, and the idea is to give people the impression that they're walking through the wardrobe into Narnia.

In most things my father (60) and me (24) are totally different. No best friends. But I try to learn as much as I can from him, since he is one of the most intelligent people I know. We see each other rarely, a few times a year but I am always glad and happy to see my parents. So I'd choose "Great, not my best friend"

That said, his father was the Nicest. Person. Ever.

[Monique]

So you guys fix stuff, and do some sort of sports with them. But what does it mean to have a father, except to pay bills. I do not know. I think for me my dad is an intellectual and since I am a woman he taught me to love books and museums and intellectual stuff. But, since he was a doctor he was busy taking care of others when I was a kid and later on I was so used of not having him around that I did not have him around, well I do not know if this makes sense or not. anyway he is dying right now and I will miss him because I will have no one to talk about books.

[TETENAL]

May father was great. I miss him since 7 years.

[brapper]

Fantastic. I've never wanted for anything.
