Bitter sweet today

first fathers day without my dad who passed last year, would of deffo been round his for the England match with a takeaway tonight.

then again, it was my sons 4th birthday today and he took the time out with playing his new toys and bike to do me a Fathers day card, even spelling Dad by himself.

Lost mine a couple years ago. It still feels strange in not buying him a card

My dad died 1983 forty years went by without him and today it’s a special day for all the brilliant dads like mine, the ones we’ll never forget because we loved them and they loved us.

My dad died 12 years ago. I never once think about him. I saw him everyday and he was literally anonymous or violent in my childhood as i'm sure many people's dads were. I don't blame him. Just be better.

I had the same experience. He also put a lot of effort into trying to undermine my confidence. I was in my forties before I realised just how damaging that was.
I tried to do better as a dad. Yesterday my son came round with cards from his kids and a bottle. So maybe I did do a bit better.

Got a barrel of beer, a big cake and tickets for an Elton John tribute act from my stepson. Very happy stepfather here.

Mine died when i was twenty , he was sixty five which was ancient then , i hated him , if you have a nice normal dad then celebrate him and make the most of him

Yeah not all parents are great sadly.
