    Never. Don't think I ever will. We get along pretty well, but talking about emotions is not part of that relationship. maybe an irish or a catholic thing.

    My Dad died suddenly when I was 18 but the night before he died we had a nice late night talk and hugged each other, so I got that going for me at least.

    Never, because I don't love your dad. He raised a condescending asshole.

    my dad died under a bridge in 1988, i never met him but for some reason i have so much love for him. he was a full blooded indian who out of high school went to the U of M, and then alcohol got a hold of him and he became a street drunk. and i dont give a shit what happened to him, im his only son and i think of him, daily. i figure if hes gonna die on the streets with no one caring or giving a shit, i will care, and i do. its kinda weird but just about everything i do in life, a man i never met, is in my thoughts everyday.

    I would probably do something like that, but he is buried in Ohio and I do pretty much everything possible not to go back there.

    Sorry to all that lost theirs too soon didn't think about that. Just felt good after talking to him wanted to inspire someone else to make their Mom or Dad's day. Or anyone else who would benefit from your call.

    i think its must be sad to not be close to your parents. i don't talk to my dad often (he's not a phone person) but he'll randomly send me an email telling me how proud he is of me and i know he loves me more than anything. i cherish my time with him when i have it and always make sure to tell him how much i appreciate what he's done for me and that i love him. / i'm pretty lucky

    I have a pretty awesome relationship with my folks. I saw them for the first time since January on Monday. They hadn't known I'm pursuing poker full time yet and for being as skeptical about it as they have been in the past they were ridiculously supportive. This especially after my mom told me quite emphatically not to quit my job after I shipped the 150k (bragz!!) a few weeks ago (I had already stopped working there for several months but they laid me off so....). But yeah they're basically the type who say "if you're happy we're happy."

    But keeping with the theme of the thread, I can't remember the last time I told either of them I loved them. Its just never been part of our relationship and I don't think thats a bad thing. Perhaps this is normal but I feel like my relationship with them has strengthened a ton as I've gotten older. They still parent and give advice and what not but now the defining aspect of our relationship is simply our conversations be it sports, politics, economics, philosophy, etc. which is pretty cool because all those things except sports aren't things 21 year olds are really talking about amongst themselves.

    So yeah my folks are pretty awesome and I love them and stuff. And I'm also very thankful for having them around and still together. I had no idea I was so spoiled growing up but now I realize I've been very very lucky.

    never verbally but its understood that we love each other. My dad owns a dairy farm and has worked every single day for about the last 20 years. I respect him for all of his hard work and giving me a job and everything like that so its just something that goes unsaid but is definitely there.

    For a guy who kicked the shit out my mom when I was a kid, those are strong words.
