According to what I have read, the word "father" conjures up different images for everyone. To some it brings the picture of love, laughter, respect, and acceptance. Unfortunately, others associate the term "father" with fear, rejection, and disappointment. Well, my father is not a perfect dad but I love him just the way he is... I still remembered when I was a child. I got sick and and I didn't want to go to school. He didn't force me but instead he smiled at me and gave me 3 coins because he knew those coins were meaningful to me. :) Tomorrow is "Father's Day" and I'm going to call him and tell him how much I love him... How about you? How do you usually greet your father? Do you give him a present? Do you visit him? Do you live with him? Do you call him? I love to hear from you... :)

We're so blessed to have them in our lives. Honestly saying I really miss my father though we have just seen each other last January and he's kind of sickly now... Our communication is just through telephone and telling him that I love him! Take care and have a nice day!!!

I have not lived with my father because my parents separated when I was young. My mom would usually ask me to spend the vacations with him, which I would do but it didn't make us to be closer. I always say I love you to my mom but I have never said "I love you" to my Dad. He passed away when I was twelve. So, I grew up without him. My mom didn't say anything bad about him but I'm not close to him. I only saw a father figure to my granddad which I always say "I love you." Hahaha ... Take care =)
