Today’s the Day of Dad. If you’re lucky, you get to visit with him or at least hear his voice. Some just have photos & their memories. Others didn’t know him at all, or worse, wish they didn’t.
You see, the Dad is an interesting creature. He can make you feel secure & loved & be the example of how to love another person. Of course, a Mother can do this too, but there’s something about the masculine energy that’s, well, just different. Opening pickle jars is a good example of masculinity at its finest.
Do Dads do other things well? Of course they do! Who else teaches you to leave dirty socks on the table (where they’re sure to get noticed & therefore washed)? Who, other than Dad, teaches you how to use tools AND leave them properly strewn across the floor (perfect for tripping)? Who would teach you to swear properly? Sure, Mom does a pretty good job, but you get the real zingers from Dad.
All joking aside, if you WERE blessed & lucky enough to have a great man in your life, honor him today. Thank him for all the special things he did for you. Help him remember the little things that maybe only you made note of & held on to. Mostly just thank him for his presence… because that was likely the most important part.
