All I meant was that if the father wasn't physically able then he
should be forgiven. Sometimes elderly parents are unable. My father
attended my wedding but my mom was bed ridden on oxygen and other
meds, at 81 years old there was no way she could get to the toilet on
her own. My father had a grand time trying to out drink my father
inlaw... the two of them practically drank the bar dry, I'd say it was
a tie. They never met previously but the two of them got along like
they were childhhood friends.
