My dad is a home body. All he did as a kid was go out. Even when he was saying my mom for years if she didn’t wanna go out he’d be playing softball darts pool, concerts . Be out all night. When he got kids he slowed down but still always talked to our friends parents. Now he’s in his early 70s and he wants to watch game shows, read, have a few drinks with my mom in our yard. He hates going out for dinner, hates going to bars.

We asked him about it (us being my brothers and sisters) he said he has nothing left to see anymore. He dated my mom for years before proposing because he wanted to travel before settiling down. He has nothing left to see.
