Happy Father's Day to you Mac and all the other dads here!
<<<That's my hubby, father of 3, dancing at the wedding here last March.
My own Dad has been gone almost 10 years now and I still miss him terribly. I was a true Daddy's Girl and I'll just never forget all the things I learned from him and all the moments we shared.
Dads are very special people!0 -

Not all Dads have moves like those! LOL
My son (24) took me out for supper. My daughter (22) is on the west coast but posted a lovely message on Facebook with a picture taken many years ago of us standing together. Long enough ago that I think she was preschool.0 -
Yes, hope it was happy!0

Father's Day can be difficult when the relationship was difficult. Dad is almost 88 and now lives nearby in assisted living after 33 years of me intentionally living several hours away. People tell me to enjoy the time and I'll miss when he is gone. Well, not so much.
I'll mourn the finality of the way he couldn't overcome the issues he had that made him emotionally distant and abusive.
I honour him by getting help and becoming different from him.
But I still don't particularly like him and would not choose to have a relationship with him. I do it because I ought to and he has no one else.0 -

My relationship with my father is somewhat distant partly because I chose a career that took me hundreds of miles away from the rural area where I grew up. My father is non-technical and has zero interest in computers or smartphones. My mother is emotionally manipulative so reaching out to my father means dealing with her too...0
