DAMN IT! I came knowing well that I would tear up a bit but still, that hurt man... Dad is a human treasure. You can earn money in a lot of ways, but you can never just get a person like Dad who realizes the true worth of the things around him.
Unfortunately, I don't think this is a rare occurrence for men. After all, in the grand scheme of things, we have little value. Look at things like male homelessness and suicide rates.
