Fathers' Day Ramblings

Fathers’ Day Ramblings


Father's Day is Only a Week Away©

We all know Father's Day, is usually not a real big deal
and from Mom and her day, none of it we'd ever steal.
But I think for Dad, its time he got his just due
so for the next few days, that's exactly what I'll do.
Unlike Mom, Dad's thoughts are not so sticky sweet,
so if anything seems offensive, hit the button named delete.
Some Dad originals, and some Dad thoughts from some others,
will arrive to share, with all Dads who are our brothers.
Remember too, husbands, brothers, nephews and all granddads,
include all sons-in-law, cousins, and other kinds of Dads.
Through the years, Dad's Day, has brought me joy and pride,
whether with my own Dad, or with my children by my side.
So here we go, the week ahead, thoughts both happy and sad,
but most of all, they are sent along to honor dear old Dad.

About My Dad©

I wish to write to you, about my Dad,he was the one and only, that I had.
Besides all that, he was special to me,he was the best darn Dad, he could be.
Was he perfect? I'd have to say, not quite,but for me, my Dad was quite alright.
Long gone from this world, he remains in me,as an imperfect Dad, who wished he could be.
I don't judge his shortcomings, nor things left undone, and hope my children don't either, daughters or sons. You see, Dads are not perfect, though try like they might,but miss them you do, once gone forever, out of your sight. Remember the best times, remember one and all you have had,for the best times remembered, keeps you ever, close to your Dad.

Happy Dad's Day to the Fathers of All Our Grandchildren©

The weekend soon gone, dedicated to Father,never quite like for Mom, less fuss and less bother,but memories we have, some happy, some sad,for that someone so special, we call our Dad. Once said, any man can be a Father,but takes a special man, to be a Dad. To the Dads, of our grandchildren, you are the best Dads, they could have had. Perfect Dads, well, that might be stretching it a lot,but no other Dads could love and care for them, as you do, since you give it all you've got. We want you to know how proud we are of you,and know that your children, also feel, the way we do. We understand why your children proudly consider you, as their hero and their star. And with pride and much gratitude,to know, what kind of men, their Dad's really are.

What I'd Like for Father's Day©

What do you think Dad would like for Father’s Day?
What do you want for Father’s Day, Dad? Not uncommon questions, but they prompted this Dad to think what he’d like most if he could have the gift of his choice from his children. The gift he would like to receive the most would be to have a letter from his children; not a group letter, but individual letters, written or typed, it matters not, but an individualized letter to your Dad telling him what you think you’d like him to know. My Dad left this world without ever knowing the many things, thoughts as an adult, I would have liked to have shared with him, had he still been alive, when I was 30 years old, and 35, 40, 50, and now at 63. So, if you are thinking about a present for your Dad for Fathers’ Day, write him a letter. Neckties and tee-shirts and barbeque mitts all disappear, but your thoughts and words will forever stay with your Dad.

Love Always, Dad
