Lost dad in 1984 the day after fathers day.
We were stationed in England (my wife and I)
That was the longest trip home......

I wish I knew half the stuff that he did......

Lost mom in 1976. Dad was both mom and dad for a while, and he sure did his best to make sure we all got what we needed.

Father's Day Celebrations


The very thoughtful and beautiful festival of Father's Day is celebrated with lot of charm and enthusiasm in countries around the world. Though the date and manner of celebrations differ in several countries what remain noticeably same is the spirit of the festival. Everywhere, people take opportunity of Father's Day to express gratitude for their dad and to tell them how much they are loved and appreciated. These days, people also celebrate Father's Day with their granddad, father-in-law, stepfather, uncle or with any other man who is caring and protective as a father.

How is Father's Day Celebrated ?
Children start preparing for Father's Day festival days in advance. To express love for their dearest dad little children prepare beautiful handmade cards. Many kids also prepare handmade gifts for their dad to express their affection. Grown-up children staying away from their father strive to spend the special day with their dad. The occasion, therefore, becomes a time for reunion in several families.

The most common method of Fathers Day Celebration is to indulge dad with his favorite breakfast in bed. A bouquet of fresh flowers, a card and a gift of love usually accompany the gourmet breakfast. After this beautiful start of the day, children usually spend the day with dad by going out for picnic or for a treat in a restaurant. Many families also throw Father's Day get together by inviting friends and relatives.

Those who choose to stay at home with daddy try to help father by completing pending household work. To many children, this is the most special way of expressing affection for dad on Father's Day and to let him know how that everything he does for the family is appreciated from the core of the heart.

Commercialization of Father's Day
In present times, Father's Day Festival has been commercialized to a great extent. Gift marketers and card sellers' launch a rigorous campaign days before the festival to cash in on the sentimental value of the occasion. Most advertised gifts for the occasion include greeting cards, neckties, toolkits and gourmet gift baskets. Though some people feel that commercialization of the day helps in raising awareness about the day, critics feel that extensive commercialization has made celebration of Father's Day a mere formality in many families.

Father's Day Humor

[size=3][b]Dead Sea Gull
A father was at the beach with his children when his four-year-old son Bob ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore, where a seagull lay dead in the sand.
"Daddy, what happened to him?" Bob asked. "He died and went to Heaven," the dad replied.
Bob thought a moment and then said, "Did God throw him back down?"

Poor Preacher
After the church service a little boy told the pastor, "When I grow up, I'm going to give you some money."
"Well, thank you," the pastor replied, "but why?"
"Because my daddy says you're one of the poorest preachers we've ever had."
