Jay apologizing to Phil, and after insulting him again checks back in on him. I love how their relationship as in-laws developed over the series. Phil always respected Jay, and Jay has warmed up to Phil a lot more. And then all three dads in the end are crying, wanting nothing more than to have more time with their sons because of how much they love them.
The episode where Phil stops fighting for Jays approval and Jay showed that he actually cared so much for the relationship him and Phil had was very heart warming. I miss this show a lot.
Is this like a cycle the cats in the cradle thing, I think it happened to everyone, Im 34 but I dont have kids and I do spend time with my parents but they did miss a lot of things when I was a kid
