Respect that your ol man had been there and done that. What he was telling you..advising you..was not criticism and punishment, it was him watching himself all over again. Experience.

How I didn't climb off the floor after every "you don't understand" or don't know where I'm coming from is a testament to patience and just how much they really did 'get it'.

It took me forever to realize that you don't get your time back. Your days. What we took for granted and put off until tomorrow was massive.
