Father's Day

To all of the Dad’s in my readership, have a great Father’s Day! I’ll be heading out to dinner with my folks this evening to have a Father’s Day dinner at one of our favorite local restaurants. As an added bonus, we’ll be taking Dad to a movie tomorrow.

I hope all of you have a terrific Father’s Day!

Until next time…

Day Off, Father's Day

Readers!

I’ve taken the day off to celebrate Father’s Day. I hope each of you who is a father has a terrific day today. I also hope that you, my readers, take a minute to send your love to your Father. He raised you, supported you, and worried about you (more than you’ll ever know).

See you tomorrow…

Dad, Father, Father's Day

Happy Father’s Day!

My Dad (pictured above on the left) raised three kids and took care of our family.

When I look at my life I recognize how hard it is to support a family. The endless hours of work, the constant worry, the stresses of day-to-day existence, coupled with a sprinkling of injuries, diseases, troubles, and all the rest.

Last year my Dad was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia. This is a type of Dementia that is caused by poor circulation (he was a smoker for more than 50 years). I retired early in December to spend my time with my Mom and Dad (both in their 70s) to make sure they had someone to take care of them and not miss any more time with them.

I never thought at the age of 53 that I’d be back home taking care of my folks, but here I am. It is truly a blessing to have the ability to spend time with the people that bore you, raised you, and supported you throughout your life. After a month or so of returning home, I realized how blessed this situation was. I get to wake up to my folks every day, hang out with them, and enjoy them. I’ve missed a lot of years and do not want to miss anymore.

My move back home has also reduced the stress on my sister, who was the only sibling in Michigan before my return.

I hope each reader who is a Father has a tremendous day. I also hope each of you reaches out to your Father by phone, email, or text, thanking them for the sacrifices they’ve made to raise and support you.

Dads are the best.

See you tomorrow…
