As my wife observes, this is a year of firsts, and here's one of them.
My parents were never very big on the "Hallmark Holidays", although after I became a father my dad would always remember to send me a Jacquie Lawson greeting card.
My dad wasn't very big on using the phone, either, so often I would call my mom and ask her to hand her phone to dad so I could wish him a happy Father's Day or whatever. He was always polite and returned the favor, though he soon wished to be off the call.
I guess I've become somewhat like that myself; I'm not great on the phone either.
Father's Day often lines up with my birthday, although this year it's a bit off. Either it came early, or I'm running late; probably the latter. A more happier observation is that Father's Day means that we're just coming up on my daughter's wedding anniversary; one of my favorite days!
Well, anyway: happy Father's Day to the fathers in your life, wherever they are.
