I feel the same as you do. My Dad died back in 1975. I was 14 years old but still remember it like it was yesterday. Yes we were close. He was always there for my brother, sister and I. If your Dad or Mom is still alive today, call them. The older I get, the more the little things matter. If it matters to me now, I know it matters more to them. Pick up the phone and give them a call. You'll feel better for it.
