Father's day

So it's once again the day in which we are to honor out family patriarch.I woke up this morning to late to see my father(as he had already left for Mount Pleasant Baptist) and he and the family went to lunch this afternoon (without me, of course) so I ended up not seeing him till well into the afternoon. Here in my home we don't really celebrate this "Holiday" of sorts. Yes, we may give mom or dad a card on mother's/father's day, but nothing big. Grandparents may have a cookout, but it's more of just an excuse to have a cook out, not a cook out for the day. So what makes this holiday so important to some and not others? I was on Facebook a little while ago and kept seeing people post things like "My dad is the best", "I am blessed to have such a great dad" or "Happy father's day to all you dad's out there!", but a post by a friend of mine caught my attention. It read, "Happy father's day to all the GOOD father's out there." This struck me(not literally)as I know she has probs with her babies father and this is who the barb was meant for. So what about all those who have absent fathers? Or Father's who really don't know how to be a dad? How does this day affect them? Me and my dad have had a lot of problems over the last few months, but I still love him like crazy. So what about some one who does not love the person that should fill this role in there life? So I am sending a ginormous *hug* out to any that fit this description. Well that's my thought of the day. Until next time, byl
