I decided to climb into the time machine and pull out a post I did last year on Father’s Day.  To all who have their fathers still with them, show them a little appreciation whenever you can.  To those whose fathers are gone, give thanks they were a part of your life.

Since my Dad passed away seven years ago, I haven’t done much for Father’s Day. Somehow sitting in church while all the fathers are thanked and prayed for was not my idea of fun. Neither was a cookout where my Dad wasn’t there telling funny stories.

My sister did mention she went to the cemetery today. I was never a person who visited relatives’ graves before, not even my own father’s. I figure if I want to remember him, or even talk to him, I can do that anywhere.  There isn’t really much for me in a cemetery, although the one where he is buried is really nice and a great place to walk when the weather’s nice.

So what did I do today? I went out with my Mom for a steak dinner and just had ice cream for dessert.  I got to watch my favorite show, Lost, earlier too, and got to play a little on-line. I can’t think of a better day than that.
