These holidays pass by every year and, for the longest time, I paid them little to no attention. Don’t get me wrong, I would send the obligatory card and make the phone call. I mean, that’s what you’re supposed to do. It’s what we’re all supposed to do. Now that it’s no longer a requirement, I find myself realizing that I never really appreciated the day as much as I should have. Why is it that things sometimes don’t take on great meaning until it’s too late?
The experience that began for me on August 25th, 2007 has made me a better person and have learned a great deal about myself and the relationships that I have in my life. Though these days may be tough at times, I am thankful for the memories that I have to look back upon and the lessons that I have learned.
Happy Father’s Day
That’s a very good quote. Hope you had yourself a nice day.
That’s a very nice tribute.
He looks like a good man.
Very nice tribute. Like you, I didn’t appreciate my Dad until he was gone. I think it’s human nature, as we all say it. He’d probably be happy that you appreciate him now.
