Father's Day
12 years ago
I've been feeling kind of depressed today - my dad died seven years ago now, but seeing all the father's day stuff on the internet and in the real world makes me feel like a lonely little squirrel.
It's a bit of a cliche, but please go out and hug your father, or someone's father, today! ^.^

Fortunately, Zed should be around for many happy years! *snuggles*
Sorry you miss your dad.
I'm sorry he isn't with us anymore but i'm pretty sure he'd be super proud of you champ
*hugs*
We should always try our best to respect our folks, but in return, our folks should always try their best to 'Return the favour" and respect us, and realise that just as we only have ONE mother or father... they likewise have only ONE us.
That said, I'm sorry to hear about your father, Zee-Zee. *hugs tight*
This past Father's Day was my 5th without my dad. The part that bothers me is how my dad could've avoided his demise if he wasn't such an idiot in his choices. First, and foremost, allowing himself to become a hardcore alcoholic and, second, thinking he was okay sneaking drugs behind my visually impaired self and sister's backs.
He put the icing on the cake when, in the months leading to his demise, he opted out of studies in which were prescribed to him by his doctor to make sure his heart was okay. This part is REALLY annoying as, growing up, my dad would give my sister and I total grief if we tried to pass on an eye appointment.
As a dad, I want to do the things my dad didn't. The first, for coping, I am proud that diapers and cutie things like ponies keep me sane instead of drugs and/or alcohol. I drink wine every now-and-then, but not like my dad drunk beer like it was going out of style.
I'm also showing my son that it is important to strive and fight for what you know you can do. My dad diddled around about improving his career and life until he was 50, just 3 years before he died. I won't do the same. I'm going to show my son that I'm a fighter and that he has no excuse to not strive to be the best little chicken he can be. :)
*Hugs* Much love to you, Zoomer. Let us take what we have learned from our fathers and become wonderful people through what lessons we've learned. Good, or bad, they will always be our dads. :)
