A great day, although somewhat torn between appreciating my kids, remembering my dad, and recognizing that my oldest has joined the frat. I hope it's meaningful in a good way for y'all.

Thanks cabbagdad. I hope you enjoy your day.
It is very meaningful to me. I'm very fortunate to have my Dad around, and in good health for his age. I appreciate his wisdom and company as I know many people do not have that luxury. Father's Day is sometimes a difficult time for my wife who lost her father at a young age. Today, I told my Dad I loved him. He had a tough time reciprocating verbally (his generation has a tough time with that), but that doesn't change a thing. He's the best.
Yessirreee! Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there. Sometimes we get on you for all those rose colored glasses, but I like what a former coach of one son said about that. Its your job, for crying out loud!
Who else would do it if you didn't?
I miss my own dad immensely. Not a day goes by for over 28 years where I don't think about him. He was the most honest person I ever knew and his work ethic was off the charts. I wish my kids coulda known him, but in a sense they did because I owe virtually everything I am...to him. And I wish he coulda been here in person to see what they're doing…but I know he's watching from above.
Thanks...for everything...Dad!
