Happy Fathers Day

[vosBghos]

I have a new job that has taken me away from my family since May first, the longest I've been away since this all began.
My daughter turns 4 on the 4th of July and I miss her terribly as I'm missing her grow up right now.

To all you Fathers out there enjoy some time with your kids today for me.

Happy Puffing

Remembering my Dad today, Pappy as I came to call him as time went on. Also, remembering my grandpas and uncles, the many male teachers, male mentors, and shipmates a little older than myself who kept the ship and me on an even keel. I had various bosses over the years, women and men, but especially two male bosses who were friends as well as colleagues.

One of my uncles, my dad's brother who was six years older than he was, was at the landing at Tarawa, the first U.S. amphibious landing in the Pacific. We were never particularly close, but he was always a family hero. He loved hot cars, and owned one of the first Corvettes, a couple Triumph roadsters over time, and worked for a while as skipper of a river live-aboard tourist boat on a river in Florida. When I heard he had died, well into his nineties, I left my office and went and sat on a bench sheltered by bushes. I am not a crier, even when I should be, but I wept.

Mother's Day = Christmas

Father's Day= Arbor Day

However, it is all good

Haha, my conception wasn’t immaculate and my Dad isn’t a Druid!

Translated it says
"To Dad, thank you for everything you have done for me and thank you for being nice and helping me thank you.
From Elis xxxxx"


I am keeping this forever

Both boys are out of the state. But call/text was completed. I went to visit my father's resting place with my mom. And had my favorite dinner. Chinese takeout. Believe it or not, my family hates Chinese food. So on days that celebrate me, I or myself, I order crap load of Chinese food and indulge myself.
