Father's Day 2016

Well, I wasn't going to make this a blog-thing a forum for my personal issues. That being said, I thought I'd share my notes on Father's Day. The whole Mother-thing is magnificent, and properly celebrated. But que paso? on fatherhood. Well, we males are not as adept at verbalizing our feelings as are our female counterparts, so it's kinda hard to explain. Lucky me that my kids are so cool, so it makes it a little easier to express my appreciation for the privilege of being a father.

You know, I don't have much to share about the fatherhood thing. The main reason is that it's intensely personal. The very very beginning, which was obviously quite personal, but in retrospect of these grown up magnificent children, a most appropriate start. Then kid time, and the surprise that I learned so much from them. Teen time, and that I was young enough to remember and somewhat relate to. Then now. Amazing children and siblings and parents themselves. Huh. All this without sharing much. I suppose that speaks for itself.
Thanks kids. Thanks Denise. ♫

    About the Author

    I did NOT like writing stuff in school. However, now that it's voluntary, I like it. I'm still working on that attitude of mine.....
