my dad, Angie's, my sil's, my nephew's have all passed on and my dil's dad is in another state and suffering results from a severe stroke several years ago...
But for a few hours, church service, breakfast and visitng with them and that GRANDkid as she shared her first Fathers Day with her daddy all was well.
Mine was bittersweet too, Gary. It was Father's Day 1985 when my DH and I bought this old house that had been out of the family for over 30 years. My Dad was very touched and delighted. Why does 1985 feel like just ten years ago?

Gary, you and others were so lucky to have your dads in your lives as you were growing up. My dad passed away when I was 17 months old. I have been ticked off about it ever since.
I wouldn't have to ask if I were talking to you. Actually, I'm just in from a huge day of garden work (cutting trees along the fenceline) and am about to pop the cap of a CANADIAN brew! It's the real thing.
My dad passed away 5 years ago. But I got to see my son get married on Fathers Day this year. And my new daughter (-in-law) got to walk down the aisle with her Dad. It made a nice new memory. My daughter got to celebrate Fathers Day with her Dad. I got to watch my nephew-in-laws spend time with their young sons. Very nice Fathers Day.
My friend Glen has three grown children One lives in Virginia, 2 live in different cities in California. He got the same identical Father's Day Card from all 3. They didn't get together about what card to send, they were purchased at 3 different stores in 2 states. What are the odds of that happening ?

That happened to me once with my 2 kids but one was bought locally and the other in Minnesota, while my daughter was visiting family.
