A Different Fathers Day Wish -
 - Ken McCreless (1,693)    
Ken McCreless   
Greetings Fellow Travelers...
I really miss my Dad.
Not so much by the imminent resplendence of Fathers Day, but the day to day problems that having the wise council of a dad would come in handy. My children could have really benefited from a Grandpa. For all intents and purposes they... ( added 1 year 151 days ago.) |
The Glory of Love -
Judi Lake (1,870)  
Judi Lake
I should have recognized the
signs, but I didn’t. Can blaming my shortsightedness of the condition on my own
weariness be an ample excuse? I don’t know.
I feel terrible that I didn’t
know… I should have, but I didn’t.

alright?"

This Father’s Day I would like to tell you a story of a man and his family whom I have known for many years.
The man, born in 1920, was one of five children in a broken home. Growing up during the depression, he was forced to quit school after the sixth grade to help support the family. In... ( added 2 years 154 days ago.) |

Father’s Day Gift Suggestions – What Dad REALLY Wants -
Danny Davids (19,741)   
Danny Davids
Hey kids. I know , it’s a little weird having your dad write you a letter when we live in the same house. But I’m trying to be low-key about something. I know that you’ve met with your mom at least once already to discuss what you’re doing to do for me for Father’s Day. (Don’t act so shocked. I... ( added 3 years 159 days ago.) |
Father’s Day: What Makes a Good Father? -
Laura Trahan (38,784)  
Laura Trahan
I saw my husband melt the other day. Men hardly ever melt and my husband is no different. I don’t even think he melted at the birth of our children. It is just not something a lot of men do often. “What made him melt," You ask? Fatherhood. Being one of four boys, my husband never thought having a... ( added 3 years 159 days ago.) |
Dan Akroyd, Daddy Jim, and Second Chances -
Teresa Ortiz (11,020) 
Teresa Ortiz
It's been said by the Best that there is a time and a purpose for everything under Heaven, I believe it with all my heart.
It's also been said that a positive-thinking person will always make Lemonade out of life's Lemons. I tend to think that it's God who makes Lemonade out of the Lemons... ( added 140 days 22 hours ago.) |
Greatest Father's Day Moments - a Tribute to My Husband -
Teresa Ortiz (11,020)
Teresa Ortiz
My husband and I married young; too young just two days after my 18 th birthday. Our first child followed within three years and there was no way I was going to be able to stay home with her. My husband immediately stepped up and helped with the "wake up every two-to-three hour" thing and I knew... ( added 141 days 21 hours ago.) |
Be The Dad You Wish You Had -
Dane Tyner (300)  
Dane Tyner
This writing is not for everyone. Many fathers do an outstanding job of raising their kids. Unfortunately, many men had dads who either were not there enough to matter or were so offensive in behavior that their children wished they were not there. I have written this for men who have no trouble... ( added 1 year 150 days ago.) |
The Browning Nomad -
Ted Gragg (496) 
Ted Gragg
He was a tough man, full of vim
and vigor, and capable of dragging a downed deer 200 yards through the toughest
swamp. He had turned sixty-four this past spring and his hair was gray but
the arms were still knotted in muscle and he carried the heavy Browning Magnum
like it was a... ( added 1 year 157 days ago.) |
Father’s Day—I Never Really Knew Him -
Sandra E. Graham (7,883)  
Sandra E. Graham
Growing up in the backwoods of Arkansas , we were considered poor. Dirt poor' is the phrase I heard most often. My father was a quiet man who farmed the land that always belonged to someone else. I never knew if he was just quiet by nature or if the long hard hours tilling the earth in an... ( added 1 year 163 days ago.) |
Memorial Day, Fathers Day Memories with Tears, Pride And Prayers -
- Joel Hendon (16,285) 
Joel Hendon
As everyone is aware, most Americans celebrate Memorial Day with scarcely a thought to it's real meaning. But those of us who were close to some of those who have fallen, find it difficult not to feel a sadness beyond words. But to dedicate a day to those young fellows seems so very lacking in...

Everyday Is Father's Day-Confessions Of A Stay-at-home-Dad! -
James Carrick (72)
I have been a stay-at-home-Dad for nearly six years. I get varied responses from people when they find out I'm a "homemaker" and my wife is the "breadwinner." From women I get positive remarks and men look at me like I'm nuts! Sometimes, I have to admit, it is hard for me to be home while my wife... ( added 2 years 150 days ago.) |
If They Only Knew -
Judi Lake (1,870)
Judi Lake
As the paramedics gently put him on the stretcher, our eyes locked. Silently, my father’s eyes pleaded with mine not to make him go. Silently, my eyes told him that he must go. As they lifted my father into the ambulance, I grabbed his hand tightly and kissed it. Silently I prayed that it doesn’t... ( added 2 years 152 days ago.) |
Father's Day Should Be Everyday Not Just Once a Year. -
- Kathy Somers Walsh (2,129) 
Kathy Somers Walsh
Father's...what can I say? Some have great father's and some unfortunely don't. In what order would you put these words to describe how you feel about your father? Love, Accept, Respect and Forgive . This is a hard question isn't it? I even have to really think about this also. I will say love... ( added 2 years 155 days ago.) |
My Dad, A Superman of Steel -
- Dave Potchak (723)  
Dave Potchak
Like Jerry Seinfeld, I am fascinated with Superman. I am also deeply indebted to a Superman of sorts. No, he never flew in the sky with the aid of a cape. Nor did he wear tights and change his clothes in a phone booth. He was neither as fast as a speeding bullet nor as powerful as a locomotive.... ( added 2 years 210 days ago.) |

So You Call Yourself A Father -
Lawrence Jones (189) 
Lawrence Jones
Well let's see, did you travel to the end of the Earth to feed your children when there was no food in the neighborhood.
Did you take time to burp them when the milk was done and the breast was aching because of the sucking to dawn.

Michelle Mackin
Dear Father,
Well, Dad, I wanted to wish you a happy Fathers' Day, but I don't know where you are. In fact, I have never even met you. Oh, I have looked for you and searched for you, year upon year, to no avail. Where are you? Who are you?

Thinking of Dad on Father's Day -
Iris Taub (778)
Most of us assume that we will have plenty of time to spend with our Dad's.
For some, they are blessed and can cherish and build many lasting loving memories of holidays that come and go.

Dianne Lehmann
In many ways, I don't feel qualified to write an article about fathers or Father's Day. I lost my birth father when I was almost 17 years old (August 4, 1969), my father-in-law on December 5, 2005 and my step-dad just this January on the 6 th . I am fatherless.

Karen Braschuk
Dear Dad,
You have been gone for quite a while.
If you are looking down from the heavens, you are probably chuckling at how many times I have talked to your picture hanging on the wall.

FATHERS DAY------Fathers and Daddies Celebrated -
Sandra E. Graham (7,883)
Sandra E. Graham
It was once said, that almost any man can be a father, but it takes a real man to be a Daddy. There is more truth to that than most people know. When a stepfather can take another man's child and raise him/her as his own, then you have a real Daddy . Their stepfathers, all too often, mistreat... ( added 145 days 8 hours ago.) |

Mark Parsec
I wanted to say I love you But life went by too fast
So I thought that I would write you
Before this moment passed
It does not seem that long ago That I stood by your side
Up to my neck in winter snow
I thought I would have died
So then, you gently lifted me And set me on... ( added 145 days 15 hours ago.) |
