He told me I was done and then just all the sudden was ok with it. It's not the same as what you described.
If someone inconveniences me or does something that wrongs me, but neither is an absolute end of the world sitch, they will of course apologise, but EVERY time, without fail, I respond, "It's ok; I don't mind the things you do, but try to just not do something that (insert negative) to me again, please."
It shows empathy, care, but most of all, that he loves you; none of it is contradictory.

Like, have you not grown up around them or taken an interest in them at all?I used to know, but, since he retired, the years have just kind of run together and there hasn't been an important birthday.
It's just completely baffling...
I think he's 70.
