Today is Father’s Day.  I have heard all about this day coming for weeks now – internet, radio, and television ads going on and on.

If you’re me, this day and everything that surrounds this day sucks.  Father’s Day is no less painful as the years go by.  I found out he was sick on Father’s Day of 1996.  Grief never gets easier, just different.

I am reminded of the fact that my father is no longer here many times a year but more so on this day – not just because he became ill around this day 13 years ago, mind you.  I would love to be making a trip up or a phone call to wish my father a happy Father’s Day.  I cannot though and this, my readers, sucks.

So to those who have fathers still with you, make this day one that counts.  Do not let this day go by without letting your fathers know that they matter, that they are in fact loved. To those who are fathers, make sure you are active in their lives and they know what it is to have a really good father.  My father was a great one and I will because of that never forget him.
