A Couple of Father's Day Stories
2005-06-19 10:39
My family has already made me feel tremendously appreciated today. They let me sleep in and brought me the paper to read in bed, and gave me wonderful cards, a mug with my kids' picture on it, and the first season of Scrubs on DVD, and hugs a-plenty. (Did I mention they let me sleep in???) My best to all of those who will celebrate Father's Day with their families today, and my best to all of those who, for reasons consolable or not, will not.

I am indeed the luckiest Dad in the world.
But it was just deliverymen from Macy's who dropped it off and I had bought it last week.
Happy Fathers day to the fathers here and I take consolation in knowing that I had a father who did a great job and left us all with the memory of a great role model.
Jon, thanks for both of those stories. Great stuff.
i hope not to be a father for at least another decade or so.
me, i got a mini ipod. which is pretty fancy. but i think it's because the lady who gave it to me covets it for herself. which is fine, too.
and i got to sleep in too, jon. that beats even the ipod. happy father's day!
