Happy Father's Day

[PamfromTx]

Father's Day (or Fathers' Day) is a day of honoring fatherhood and paternal bonds, as well as the influence of fathers in society. In Catholic countries of Europe, it has been celebrated on March 19 as Saint Joseph's Day since the Middle Ages. In America, Father's Day was founded by Sonora Smart Dodd, and celebrated on the third Sunday of June for the first time in 1910. It is held on various days in many parts of the world all throughout the year, often in the months of March, May and June.

Father's day complements similar celebrations honoring family members, such as Mother's Day, Siblings Day and Grandparents' Day.

Yeuch !! I can't stand this sweet sickly sentimental stuff. If you looked up unambitious or just plain ordinary in a dictionary, my father's name would be somewhere in the definitions. He wasn't a bad person, but logic, reason and understanding were foreign concepts to him. I never wanted to be anything like him (although he was an expert plasterer). As for Fathers' day - just another excuse for commercialism and wasting money. I'm glad my children ignore it, as I do.

I sure wish my dad was still here.

For one thing, I'd apologize for throwing a rock at him (and accurately) one Father's Day when I was maybe seven. I can't remember why I did that, but I sure remember doing it.

For another thing, I'd listen to his wisdom more than I did when I was younger.

To all the Wonderful Dad's out there. My Dad is in Heaven and I miss him everyday. He was my Hero.

My daddy passed away at a young age of a massive heart attack. That was in 1970. I can't believe it's almost 50 years ago.

My Dad was about 6'1 while I am 5'3". He was tall and I am short but his mother, my grandmother was short, too, as well as my other grandmother. I take after my grandmothers that way.

My handsome daddy in WWII. Wish he was here so I could give him a hug!

My dad when he was in his early 30s - that would be the early 1950s.
