Alas, it is June again.... and everywhere I turn it's "DAD'S AND GRAD'S" .... must they combine the two? this marks the 2nd father's day I am not sending a card. Not because the man is physically dead, but certainly he is to my heart, mind, and soul. I tire from triggering at the the words Father's Day everytime I turn around, tire of the guilt in my heart even though I am not the one who did wrong. Tired of feeling sick about this.

Yeah, i took a pen to the words on the calender, obliterating them. Then found an I Love You sticker and put that over it so that when I see it, there is a message to me saying I Love You.

Kiya, I like your sticker idea!
My father chose not to want a relationship with me until I became an adult. (parents divorced when I was 4) I don't mind getting him a card. It's just hard to find one that doesn't say stuff like "What a wonder father you've been".

I was divorced while pregnant.. and raised him on my own... there well... there are things that I would like to say.. but don't...... what a "downer" I am... sorry... sometimes... I would think.. I would like to make.. make a card for the Dad.. I wish I had had... (cazy right??) but somehow.. that might feel good.. this year... no I didn't get to have that Dad... but... I don't know... being 52.. maybe... it is time... |

Father's day is not too bad for me. I usually feel guilty because I really don' t think much about my Dad on father's day or any other day for that matter. Usually, this feeling last for a little while and then gets buried 'til the next father's day.

yeah liberada,
i thought about "writing" (in here only) the kind of card I would "send". I think i did once send him a littany of all the crap (not on F. Day) and he was in denial and shock. Evidently once when i was little i was really pissed off at mom and it was monther's day. i guess i gave her a card that said "Dear mom, I hate you. Love, Kiya".

Hope it's okay to post. I used to dread Mothers Day. I would acknowledge it, but I would find a card that just overflowed with praise and gushed with loving memories and closeness and affection.
Irony. She never "got" it. But I did.

I don't dread father's day... though I know it's about to happen because of all the advertising!
My dad was dx'd with brain cancer the last week of May that year... so all of June was his battle...and surgery... and family frenzy who thought he'd live to 100 because he was never sick... he passed after 5 weeks, and was buried ...a few days before his 84th birthday July 3rd. I "smoke" (burn) one of his favorite cigars on his birthday, in memory.

Thanks for posting echoes =) Totally, if I did that for my dad he'd be beaming in pleasure because that is how he sees himself - this great guy who is the king of all fathers. He wouldn't get the irony either.

Kiya, that's what my mom did, too. She even saved many of them and we found them after her death.
So I guess we both got what we wanted. I got the satisfaction of being facetious and she got to pretend she was Glenda the Good Witch.
