My message today will be short and bittersweet.
Today's a wonderful day to celebrate the men in your life: your grandfathers, dad, stepdads, and the father of your children. Enjoy the holiday, and treat these men the way they deserve to be treated—at least this one day out of the year. (smile)
Today's a sad one for me, as I lost my dad less than two years ago. Things get easier with time; they always do. I'm learning that the hard way. Still, anniversaries and holidays bring back the memories, making those events "touch and go" for years.
Since it's been such a short for me, things are pretty much "go" around my house today: go do something to distract yourself so you don't have to think much about it.
I'm glad my turn to blog fell on Father's Day, though, so I can ask all of you who have dads to love them and appreciate them, today and all days.
And when you give them a hug, give them an extra big one for me.
All my best to you,
Barbara

My heart goes out to you, Barbara. I am 41 yrs. old and am still Daddy's little girl. My husband teases me because Daddy still calls me "Baby" :). I hugged my daddy and my hubby today, but I am sending a hug to you too, Barbara....{{{{}}}}}
I lost my father 36 years ago. Fathers Day still seems strange without him.
I'm sorry for you loss
Abamabecky,
How sweet of you! I wasn't expecting a return hug and am very glad to get it.
It's nice to be Daddy's little girl, isn't it? I had three sisters competing with me, so I don't think I ever had a chance at the title, except maybe the first three years when I was an only child. LOL
Thanks again!

Estella,
I'm sorry for your loss. I know people whose parents have been gone 40 and 50 years, and they say they still have their moments of missing them, too.
Take care,
Barbara

You have my sympathies and you are so right about appreciating people while you have them in your life.
Maureen,
Thanks so much.
I lost three people very close to me in the space of three years, and it makes me wish I could reverse time.
Not that I didn't appreciate them all, but I would have told them more often.
A tough lesson learned!
Best,
Barbara
