I don't usually make much of this day, but this year is special because my SIL became a father to twins in October, after a very long wait and IVF treatment, so he's a very happy dad now. And my son was so unhappy last year, when he was denied contact with my grandson for several periods of a few months, until earlier this year. He is bringing grandson here for lunch today, and there'll be a card and present for grandson to give him as for sure ex-DIL will have made grandson feel he shouldn't give his dad a card. I hope there are a few separated fathers who have managed to see their children today. smile

I love to see DH opening cards on Fathers' Day as we could so easily have lost him when he had a stroke two years ago. I still miss my lovely Dad who died in 1969. I know it was a long time ago but there's never a day goes by when I don't think of him. My DD's friend lost her Dad a few years ago and posted this poem on her facebook page today. It moved me so much I thought I'd share it with you.

Dear Dad,
I thought of you today but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.
I think of you in silence and I often speak your name.
All I have is memories and a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never part.
God has you in his arms but I have you in my heart.
