Man I can’t believe you received any down votes. I’m 35 and a workaholic. My father worked every hour of OT offered to give me a better life than he ever had a shot at. He also made time to coach and take me fishing, hunting and teach me to make time to help people and be a honest man. I have not one memory of wishing he would have been there for a certain event. Even when I was a senior in high school and avoided his house and disregarded to let him know what time my last baseball playoff game was, over 4 hours away. He was there.
He instilled in me to work hard and here I am in a hotel working 90 hour weeks. I’m home 7 months out of the year and work at a shop Monday- Friday. So my free time is limited and it gets booked up quickly with the wife and I being active in many aspects. My father still makes it a point to reach out when times go too far in between seeing each other. We live 8 minutes apart.
We planted fruit trees earlier this year at our new home that are in full bloom now. That’s something I’m proud of, that I’ll ways think of him when they bloom. Last week I was pushing mowing a swamp of a yard before I left town the next day when he pulled up with another fruit tree to replace one that didn’t take. I told him I did not have time to plant it as I had my hands full before the sun went down. ( now I love my Pops dearly and extremely cherish our time together. My point is that my life is hectic and I will clean this up soon.) Thankfully he proceeded to plant it anyways. Afterwards, he helped me finish cutting the lawn and we even cut his the next morning.
Reading your post was touching to me for some reason. Here I am living the life that I thought he instilled in me, a good and honest life. When I am home with free time, I make sure to do something besides sitting on the couch. I lost my best friend at 17 and said I would live everyday to the fullest. So even when you think you are living on the right track, make time to do the events that will matter to you and to those involved when you no longer have the opportunity to do them. Time is of the essence and do not take time for granted . Hug your Pops guys and girls and your Moms too. Sorry for the long arse emotional rant. I just thought what you said was spot on.

OP, have a bonfire and do smores.
Teach them to shoot a bow. Learn to do leather work together, teach them to throw darts or horseshoes
