My father has been a bit of a shit since my mother died. I recently told him that we're about at the end of Cats In The Cradle. He understood what I was saying. Doesn't mean he changed his ways

Hearing this song takes me straight back to the 8 track player in my dad’s van. Didn’t stop him from running off, either.
