Yesterday, I read the post by Linflas about losing his brother ...

... and immediately thought two things.
1. That completely sucks.
2. I should really call my folks and patch things up. (I haven't been really close with my parents since my teenage years when I thought I knew more than everyone.)
But instead, I did nothing.
Fast-forward three hours, and my father is in the ER due to dizziness and high blood pressure and my mother is in a closet of her Forney, TX home while a tornado destroys a not too distant neighborhood.
Luckily, they are both fine. And after who knows how many wasted chances, I thought back to that post and finally got the message. I went to the hospital and talked with my dad until late last night. I'm committed to rebuilding my relationship with both of them and getting past all the things my pride wouldn't let go of.
Just wanted to post this in case it helps someone else connect the dots like Linflas's did for me. Thanks man.
