Fatherless Day

[quietbluster]

I sit here on a hot summer night and think back on the opportunities of a lifetime, and on a life dearly missed. Saturday was Father's Day, and for the first time in many years, I didn't need to buy a cheap card or make a phone call. The card is no big deal, in and of itself, as Father's Day is merely a Hallmark Holiday. The phone call stings.

Smiles be with you. Believe it or not, even though your dad is physically gone, it seems like you remember far more about him than I remember about my mom, who I see everyday. Just about every family gathering of ours is like opening up a photo album, and I remember some small aspect of her that is no longer there. Keep working hard!

I love you.
