I'm going to 'speak for myself', and agree with alien1.
I lost my dad in 91 to cancer. We had never been close, (as in never). I probably saw/talked to him more those last couple of weeks, watching him die in a hospital then I ever had my whole life.
What a stupid, stupid life I lived.
Now unfortunately I'm making the same mistake with my own son.
I'd give anything to have my father back. Hopefully I can be a little different, (i.e. more understanding/loving, etc), with my own kid.............but it's hard.
You younger guys just don't know what it's like not to have a dad, until he's gone. You'll miss him worse then anything. I promise you that. Play hardcore, hardass, whatever you want to call it.
He's your dad. Even if he's a prick, or doesn't seem to understand you, he's still your dad.
flame suit on.
