Is Fathers' day a joyous occasion for you?

My dad is passed on and I can't help but think of the days dedicated to dads that have past. Each year gets a little less painful as I begin to replace the thought of his loss with the memories of the celebration of that special day we shared when he was alive. It is not a joyous occasion for me but I'm getting better at not being sad. How about you? What makes it joyous for you or not joyous if you don't mind me asking?

My dad is still with us. Tomorrow is Father's Day. I may greet or may not greet him. I am never as close to him as to my mom. I don't want to be bias. We are currently experiencing family problem and I think it is because of my father. I don't want to hate him but I don't want he did.

I can understand that but you and he both deserve a chance to resolve things sometimes you have to love people in spite of not because of. Would you regret not dealing with him if you did not have him around anymore? Think about it is it worth it?

Wow! For a while I thought that my heart and mind was opened there. It is not worth to loose my father just because of a conflict that we are having as a family. We will resolve this, with the help of time and prayers. We can do this. Thank you very much for enlightening me.

Yes, I love celebrating father's day. My father is very close to my heart and not only we celebrate it on father's day itself, but i treat everyday as father's day. We should all celebrather our fathers whether they are still alive or had passed away. I am very thankful I have my father who has been very supportive to me all these years and I thank him for his undying love and care for me.

I agree totally that's why I was able to say goodbye to my dad because I was always sure to let him know how much he meant to me and how much I loved him I miss kissing his forehead when ever I saw him but I remember his smile when I did.
