[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father is dying and I had a conversation with my siblings recently where we noted that unfortunately we literally have NO happy memories of having spent time with him while growing up.

He was a 'very busy doctor' and missed every significant milestone in our lives.  In college, I found out later that most of my friends just assumed that my parents were divorced and that my dad had abandoned us since they had literally never met him, seen him, I never mentioned him, etc.

I still remember how he had literally nothing to say to me on the day of my wedding because he really had never been a part of our lives.

My siblings and I have seriously discussed inventing stories for a eulogy about how he sang us songs and made us pancakes on Sunday mornings since we have absolutely no family traditions, stories, etc.  that have him in them.

If success is being absent from your family or alternately having kids who make a lot of money but move thousands of miles away and we get to see them three or four days a year then you can count me out.

Why not talk about how you were able to live very comfortable lives with all the money he made? [/quote]
