You can f right off with this post! Dude, really? Like you couldn't do the whole spoiler make the text black unless I highlight it thing? This friggin guy making all us old dads cry. But seriously, hits right in the feels.
We sang this in 6th grade, and even then I understood the devastating lyrics (I didn't see my dad much, b/c he had to work long hours and weekends+nights as a young resident->doctor). I knew even then that this song would be my truth.
Over three decades later, I love my dad but I only see him a few times a year for a few days each, and we don't talk much on the phone much.
