I had a dad. He died a month ago. He wasn't my biological dad but he was my dad. Never got a long with him him when i was a kid. Could never do anything right but i wanted to live up to his standards and make him proud of me. Now im a step dad and i want to be the kind of step dad to my step kids that my dad was to me.

Unfortunately, you rarely get the credit you deserve for being a step-dad until your dead. Then they say the same thing you did. Hope it works out better for you. Didn't for me.

@aliensarereal7832, Granted, it is much more complex being a step-father than a father; however, fathers are typically not appreciated until they are gone either since a good father is a strong, "silent hand" that provides children order, emotional strength and confidence through discipline (the bad cop in the good cop/bad cop dynamic). A good father's contribution becomes obvious when his time is cut short raising his kids and the kids struggle mightily.

@@TheWealthOfNationz That was a beautiful comment. But in my case, in hindsight, I wish now that I would have invested all that time and sacrifice into myself. I need instant gratitude and I appear to be the only one that appreciates what I do. I now look out for me and let everyone do the same.

Incredible, he was holding back and keeping it dialed back for most of the song since he might not have the same vocal dexterity as when he was younger. But that final chorus at 5:00 he unleases and hits those absolute golden high notes. So much respect to this man for his God-given talent and incredible musicianship. We are lucky to share a world with him.

I had many differences with my Dad, it wasn't until my 30s that i resolved them,sadly at 49 i lost him.i wish he was still here, i have so much more i want to say. This song made me resolve those issues and difficult times we had when i was a child way back when this was released. Do it today, go see him, son or daughter go to him and sort it, then enjoy your time you both have left together. RIP DAD (John) Thanks BA Robertson (check the writers version) it was his experience in the lyrics he wrote. just copy and paste this (ba robertson living years above ) and also you will hear the name of the young babys real name from the song, and there is a surprize at the end of video(i wont tell you,it will spoil it), you think this version makes you cry watch this one the way it was meant to be.

Never had a relationship with my father after I was 10. When he was there he incredibly brutal to us. The last time I saw him he absolutely disrespected my wife. I told him that when he apologized to her I would see him again. That was in in 1974. He passed in 1998. After decades of thinking on the matter. I have come to understand he had PTSD. He was on the USS Yorktown. The boiler room next to his took a direct hit and he watched his fellow sailors and friends burn to death. He couldn’t do anything he had to man his station to get the ship back to safe harbor.

I remember the sirens going off as I said to my dad I love you dad. he had't spoken in a few years and had almost no emotion but that day a tear came out of his left eye and just hung on his cheek. he didn't have to speak for him to know my love was deep. I miss that man today. He died 3 days later and I'm in Monaco filming another TV s episode.
