On the Earth today it is Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to all!
To be honest, I'd never really seen the point to Father's Day until my husband and I where married and we had a child. In my life, I'd never had a father to celebrate Father's Day with, nor did I have the experiance of having a "father" proud of me. I had adult male role models, Uncles, Cousins and Grand fathers. That' being said, I remember being jealous of my best friend growing up because she had both of her parents in the home. That lack of relationship is hard, even in my adult life. I can watch that relationship between my husband and our sons, but that kind of relationship is not something I can experience for myself, and sometimes it makes me sad. However, I am thankful for all of the men who have been father-like in my life. I love you all, and thank you for the love you've all shown me.
