This was sent to me and I thought it was worth sharing sincefathers day is so close June 17th What do you think Is this the way we haveviewed Dad?
THE FATHERHOOD CYCLE
4 years: "My Daddy can do anything."
7 years: "My Dad knows a lot, a whole lot."
12 years: "Oh, well - naturally - Father doesn't know that either."
14 years: "Father? Hopelessly old-fashioned."
21 years: "Oh, that man is so out-of-date. What did you expect?"
25 years: "He knows a little bit about it - but not much."
30 years: "Maybe we ought to find out what Dad thinks."
35 years: "Let's ask Dad what he would do before we make a decision."
40 years: "I wonder what Dad would have thought about that? He was pretty
smart."
50 years: "My Dad knew absolutely everything."
60 years: "I'd give anything if Dad were here so I could talk this over with
him. I really miss him."

thts a great thing to read yes we do think like tht sometimes. when people are around we dont get time to even say hi, but when it is too late we think of them and brood.

I've read this one before, and it always amazes me how it's pretty much true about how our thought processes change as we age. My Dad's been gone for 10 years now, and at almost 60, I find myself saying a lot of times 'I'd give anything if Dad was here so I could talk it over with him, I really miss him.' Thanks for sharing this, it made my day, and I had some good Dad memories after reading it:-)
