Every year, Father’s Day is celebrated in the U.S. on a Sunday in June. This day is often filled with family get-togethers, BBQ and gifts of some really ugly ties! This wonderful family day can be bittersweet for many including myself. Memories of imperfect relationships, complicated emotions, and regret tend to rear their ugly heads.

WOW, that was so beautifully said…I am in tears. I have a similar situation with both parents and now at 71 it still hurts. Thank you, Chris

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
? Did you mean to and this to me?
As always, loved your blog. You really have a way with words. My father was a good one, but not one to show his emotions openly. I loved being around him and miss him very much. He passed away 6 years ago. I was lucky to have him into my fifties. Keep writing 🙂
Gee, Beth you have a great way of of bringing things to the fore-front.
Thank you
Thanks Marie!
