Everything in life is kind of arbitrary. We apply meaning to events. There are certain events that we apply special meaning to. The first day of school is bigger for parents than kids. Its a sign of their child growing up. But I had a friend who played basketball. His dad never came to see him play through about 100 HS games because of work. To him these were milestones, and to this day (20 years later) he holds this against his dad.
