It's Father's Day today.

Turn that frown rightside UP! I'm sure your dad knows you love him even though you forget to give him your note. Just be sure to give it to him before the day ends and let him know you were rusing out and missed him. Even if doesn't happy today, put a date on your letter that way he will know you didn't forget, but things happen as fathers we know that life happens and sometimes things get in the way of our original plans. You are NOT useless. You were just focused! Wow school on Sundays, eh? That has got to be tough!

Hi hdjohnson, Yea, school on Sunday is really tough and boring.. Good thing Its moved in Saturdays now! Anyways, I give him the note this morning.. Fathers Day has ended already. He read it and he shed a tear, which touched me inside. He said; It don't need to be Fathers Day for us (his kids) shows love not only to him but to our mother also. He also said, we can always give him a letter anytime we want and it doesn't need to be a Fathers Day. Because of that, I loved my father even more. I'm really kinda a daddy's girl even though he is very strict.. I just love my Dad the way he is.. I hope you had blast yesterday! :) God bless!

Well said! Whatever time you and your father did spend together on this day. I'm quite sure he appreciated the time. I agree that when we lose sight of that important thing, the mere fact that we only get one father. That alone is very heartwarming. It shows me that you are allowing the healing process to begin in your own heart. And when that healing process has had its complete work in you then, you'll begin to have that PEACEFUL life that is promised to you. My example of being a father comes to my children comes from having an absentee biological father, one of which I've never, met, known or seen till this very day. As a young child, I made up in my mind that I wanted a family one day and that my children would know what it means to be a father. That they would know what a father I've had over the years of my life was none other than my heavenly father, our creator. He truly is the example I want to live and demonstrate before them and not anyone else.

That is so cool. My wife is away this weekend out of town. So my kids and I spent the entire weekend together. I just heard my 9 yr old daughter say today, that she misses her mom. I do too. Can't wait till tomorrow! It nice to hear that you think of your hubby as highly as you do. That warms my heart. I'm sorry to hear about your father though. I never knew my dad, so I can't relate, but my MoM who is gone already. I used to spend waking moments with her.

I was going to say, that I can relate to your comment, but I cannot say that. Although my biological father, I never knew, never seen, never even met. So I grew up kinda of hating someone that I didn't even know. Until one day, my mom asked me if I met my father one day and he needed my help, would I help him. I told her, "No, it's not like he has been around for either of us, so why should I." She looked me in the eye and said, if you can help him and it's within your power to do so, then do it, because that what Jesus would do. Ever since that moment in my life, I stopped hating him, and till this day, if I do ever meet him, I will do exactly what my mom instructed to do when I was a child. What I've learned from my mom that day was. That it is better to forgive someone for mistreating whether it is past or present. You see holding onto that unforgiveness for so long eventually turns into bitterness and the worse form of that word hatred. I'm not saying that you act as if things are just peachy, but at least calling him, to say Happy Father's Day, can probably do a world of good for the both of you. It will remind him of how much of a father that he hasn't been to you over the years and will also, allow some of the healing process to begin in your heart. Now all that I have written about this situation is based upon making the decision to live a victorious life, free of hurt, free of pain, and ultimately sets you up to live peaceful life. I didn't write any of this to attempt to belittle and definitely I am NOT trying to offend you. I simply pray that you will find something that I've said useful enough for you to see a change in your life. Change is good when you allow it to be.

Wow, that your screen name is so befitting your response. How sweet of you to say such nice things. I'm sure your dad is proud of you! We are simply being the example that we believe God would have us to be before our children!

Wow, that truly is one special comments to say to your father. Kudos!

Thanks soccerbai123, my kids and I just got back from the park where they got to play on the swing sets, climb the ladders, walk the balancing beams and blow bubbles. So indeed they are a but tuckered out, which is cool. So maybe later we will get to play some more games.
