After his passing, with nothing but memories to process what he'd said, I thought how during the first 15 years after I'd moved away from home, I lived within an hour's drive, & not once did he call to ask, "how about I come over & take you to lunch." Not even when came to the big city to get something.
Note to parents: you have no right to expect your kids to visit you in your old age if you never visited them in their 20s & 30s.

One of the things my brain does (and I believe many of you can relate) is dig up unpleasant memories and thoughts at random times.
The one I'm dealing with today: in the last 2 weeks of my father's life, he let me know he was disappointed that I didn't visit him more. I was floored because I'd made a deliberate effort the last 3 years when he was sick to visit him often - what I thought was often given wife and I had a child and full-time jobs.
