Father's Day coming up fast

[Missourian]

Friendly reminder to get your cards in the mail, Father's Day is June 21st.

If I knew where my father was I would do more than a card. A picnic or party ... cards just seem so impersonal.

Well, if he was dead then at least I would have a grave to visit, though I would wish it was my mother in it instead of him.

 

[strollingbones]

how can you wish your mother dead? i am fighting hell and high water and a crazy old bat.....to get the right medical treatment for my mother...i fight her but good news the left breast lump was beign.

my mother was not the best mother in the world and has a real cruel streak but she is my mother. i couldnt imagine hating her.

Oh, now that would be an awesome idea, rent a boat and go fishing with my dad ... *sigh* those were the days, when he would take me fishing while the morons stayed at home with their "scriptures".

 

[strollingbones]

we use to hunt and fish...he was fun....if it was illegal ...he didnt care...as long as we were not in danger...i remember he told my mother one time...hell anything fun is illegal....

My dad has this fly rod, if anyone even thought of touching it he would smack their ass ...

... took me to the lake one time, said he was going to teach me how to fly fish ... and handed me that rod. Never forgot that day, never will.

My Dad loved to fish. One of my earlier memories of him was going fishing for bluegill with what seemed to me then, to be an enormous cane pole. This will be our first Father's Day with him gone. I expect the 21st will be a long day for us here and I hope everyone take's Bones' advice and enjoys some time with their Dads if they're lucky enough to still have them.

Teaching me how to fish may have been the best thing Dad ever did for me ! He died suddenly in 2001. I miss the old bastard even though he made me wear a coat and tie once in awhile.
