@just4him She worked really hard for it and I am so proud. She was up against the best in the US and went against 45 other girls in her age and level

My husband is the step dad and my children have never called him more than Steve and haven't really ever thought of him on Father's Day. My middle daughter always dedicates father's day to me.

@mom210 I was a single mother most of her growing up, although her dad has always been around. Recently she remembered to invite him to Zelda's birthday party. I hadn't seen him in years so that was a little awkward.

That is a good idea your middle girl does. Since my father has passed I considered doing that for my mother too.

I love cakes , specially those with butter icing . I hope the cakes didn't raise your cholesterol above the normal level.

Actually , when there are successive occasions to celebrate and spend on , we can just spend them in one time . At least everyone will be there to celebrate and lesser expenditure .

with so many in the family I do worry about combining to often, I do not want them to feel short changed. But both the kids involved are very loving and forgiving. Both say they do not mind at all & they are very close. It is behind me for another year now. I am working on the birthday this month now. Trying to work it into my schedule,

@ridingbet Wow, we lost them close to the same time, mine passed December 27, 1996. Needless to say, Christmas is bittersweet. I have a lot of small children, so I have to keep it up for them, but it always reminds me that he is gone.
