Back in the 70s there was a song, "Cat's in the Cradle", about a father who was always traveling for business, neglecting his son. Whenever he was home, his son would ask for time with him, and his dad would say he just didn't have time. They boy was polite, but he father heard him say "Someday I'm going to be like him"> When his son grew up, sure enough, the tables were turned. It was something of a shock for the father that as he had given so little time to his son growing up, his son didn't have time for him in his old age. A lesson for all of us.
