Sorry to hear about your situation my friend. Do you connect with your father on any level? Share any interests?
I know it can be frustrating, but I promise you this - if you intentionally lose touch without trying REALLY hard, you will regret it at some point. I have a close friend who recently lost his father, and I know what it does do you.
Fathers can be frustrating, I know. Mine sit on the board of my company, and while he is the economical/logical input, I am the creative one who takes chances so we CONSTANTLY fight over things, but we always compromise.
Please - try harder, because I know you care about him. Otherwise you wouldn't have started this thread. When was the last time you told him you loved him? The fact that he chooses to work through his retirement is his decision, and unless his summer house is in a Bagdad suburb, it is most likely a wise investment.
