My sons are grown and young fathers themselves, and I'm hoping that will be their focus. I should probably send a card to my father-in-law, who I'm sure is missing his son. I've just avoided thinking about it all, so thanks for the reminder to make it somehow positive.Ruth Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382629264175127167.post-84044814552277995182010-06-21T00:44:11.331-04:002010-06-21T00:44:11.331-04:00I will post here what I put on my Facebook:
Fathe...I will post here what I put on my Facebook:<br /><br />Father's Day - A melancholy day for we adults, whose fathers are not here with us. Doubly so for kids like mine, whose father entered Heaven sooner than expected. We rejoice they are where we will be one day, but miss them very much. We will honor them this Sunday, and call it Father Remembrance Day.Kelly C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03980257184558215962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382629264175127167.post-25163416231317527422010-06-15T10:36:52.291-04:002010-06-15T10:36:52.291-04:00I'd join your lobby in a heartbeat. Mother'...I'd join your lobby in a heartbeat. Mother's Day, too. (EVERY day should be mothers day, right? smile) They're two holidays that put a painful divide between the "haves" and the "have nots." Those that don't have parents, spouses, or the opportunity to be parents don't need this reminder which basically just lines the pockets of gift and card manufacturers.Ferree Bowman Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739485535852107104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382629264175127167.post-6431304102803653062010-06-15T10:25:55.994-04:002010-06-15T10:25:55.994-04:00This will be our 3rd Father's Day without Tim....This will be our 3rd Father's Day without Tim. The first year, I was so very angry. I didn't go to church, didn't spend time with my own father. Mainly because I didn't even want my kids around other kids who had their fathers. Last year, still skipped church, for my sake as much as theirs, but agreed to spend time with my family. I'm still not sure what to do this year. Part of me wants to lobby to have the day removed as a holiday. Ok, thats going too far I know! But thats how I still feel sometimes! I think I'm going to sit the kids down, explain to them whats going on, and let them have an opinion about the day. And then we may spend the day in our pj's on the couch watching hours of Disney movies!Carol Buleynoreply@blogger.com
