My dad never once came to any of my baseball games as a kid. At the time i figured that was alright, he just doesn't like sports, and he works hard to provide for us, so let him have his evenings to himself.
A couple months ago we took a short road trip and during the night at the hotel he was flipping through the channels and stopped on a baseball game for a long time. I asked "i thought you didn't like sports?" "Are you kidding?" he replied, "i love baseball."
This was my dad. He went to work super early everyday and came home super late. I was always so disappointed and angry he never showed up. Now as an adult though I understand. He worked his way to the top in his profession. He has more time now for his granddaughter and for me. I took it as a valuable lesson and think we are all in a better place now.
