Cat's in the Cradle

Thank you for the title to this song, Joy. Although I know a good part of the song I have never remembered the title to the lyrics. Every time I listen to the simple yet heart wrenching "I don't know when....." I always wonder how many dads are out there listening and regretting.........and from the responses you get, it seems that there are quite a few, albeit with varying degrees and perhaps for different reasons. A peek into the future might reveal, as you have pointed out, that the kids will view each wrong and regret with different eyes at different stages of their lives - as they progress from 18 to 28 to 38 and so on...... just as parents will do the same as they progress from 38 to 48 to 58 ......... which adds a very credible weight to the phrase "older and wiser."

And to platypus, suen.kuen , coyote and all those wise and patient fathers out there - I drink a toast!

Regards
Tom
