Don't say...FD is over for 2008.
Fathers ?...I have a good one.
I try to be as good as him...."as good", not the same...good in the good ways...trying not to make the same well-intentioned mistakes...He has always done his absolute best...with what he knew at the time.
Sometimes he says amazingly insightful things like "I should try to be more tolerant" and well, that's enough for me...that's a pretty good example, admiting that we are never too old to reflect on doing better....God knows, I need to do better.
We spend a bit of time enjoying brotherly ribbing in Dad's direction...the over-catering, the cleaning up 'during' the event, the compulsory care-packages to take home and other stuff...as much as we whinge...we wouldn't have it any other way. Here we are, 5 of the 6 of us, today at our last gathering at his address.
I was spoilt with all of my fave things...ceramic goblets, mints, M&M's, shirts and a COOKED BREKKIE (pictured) made by Leesy and Ruby. It has been the best FD ever.

Yes indeed, we have a good one.
It is good to be spoiled on Father's Day ... Frankie made sure we did whatever I wanted to do today ... and it was a lovely day. Here's to all fathers and loving uncles.
