You never know what you have, until it's gone one day.

I'm not saying to just agree with your pops and give in. All I'm saying is I'm sure you could have approached him differently.
Like I mentioned in the other thread someone did about 'What age is it OK for you to kick your dads ass'.
I love and respect my pops, sure we disagree especially on sport related stuff and the arguments get pretty heated but I know my place and I know what to say and what not to say.

I'll tell you a quick story. My mom has 5 sisters (my aunts) well one of them my aunt Adriana used to butt heads with her grandmother and her grandmother used to always try to do right for them but Adriana would always be nonechalant about things and not pay much attention. Whenever something was done for her she'd complain about it.
Their grandmother passed away 1 day, Adriana never got a chance to hug her or kiss her or thank her or talk to her.
Theres not a single family reunion where my aunt Adriana doesn't end up crying and sayin 'God please forgive me for not appreciating her while she was here, please I knew know better I was stupid and ignoran'
Shes never been to her grave site because she feels embarrased and says that whats the use of going now if she can't hugg her or tell her thank you to her face....
Anyway... BG just make sure your aware of what your doing. I know your a very skeptical person BUT again I'm pretty sure you could have approached your pops in a different way.
Oh! yeah! also you gotta keep in mind our old mans start changing when their age gets up there so try to be more sensible with him.
