re: Best outdoor memory with dad or grandfathers

Great thread. Some stories almost bring a tear to my eyes because they hit close to home. I lost my dad when I was in my early 20’s, and I hate that my future kids will never know him.

A little off topic, but the last time I saw and talked to my dad was as we passed each other on the highway. We were talking on the phone, he was headed home and I was head to Orange Beach with friends. We waved at each other, and he called me to talk. I can’t remember if I told him I loved him when we hung up. He passed away 6 hrs later from a massive heart attack. I drove back home and wished like hell I would have stopped him to talk in person instead of on the phone.

You never know when someone’s time is called. It can happen when you least expect it, so don’t live with the regret of not telling a loved one that you love them. It could be your last opportunity.
