yes, Happy Father's Day... didn't buy a thing...

I suppose some really smart marketeer decided that if we were going to have Mother's Day and spend money on our mothers, we could have Father's Day and repeat the process. In Korea they had Children's Day and Mother's Day, but decided since every other day was Father's Day they didn't need a special day (yes, they finally picked it up, like nuclear missiles everyone has to have one).

I am, a father, and had the best one for my own - who I shared with my two sisters and brother but I was first and it was okay - he was big enough for all of us. And I became a father, which I can never do justice to the position, but I try. Much easier being a grandfather, much.

But to me Father's Day is re-living the best of the times with the children and the man, hearing about my parents' fathers, and in general just being glad that there is Dad to be had. Calls and contact and shared some time with that old guy, ask advice, find out how things are going, tell him how things are developing - can't buy much that make the day better than that laughter over a story about long ago and close to one's heart. Have a great Father's Day, just because it is one of the best things about being a man in life. Really, one of the best.
