happy fathers day!

hello my friends!!! so happy fathers day you fathers out there!!! this day is a mixed day of emotions for me. my own dad has passed, but he was a great provider and loving father. my son's father however-well, not so much. he isnt around at all, and my 10 year old son tells me all the time, all i want is a dad. i know some great dads out there, i know some guys that do not have any children of there own but have been some of best dads i have know to their step children-my brother-in-law dave, yes doug my cupcake-lol- im talkin about you too, and my friend rollobee just to name a few. i know some guys who would make great dads when they are ready-donnie and lance, and i know some not so great dads and i just dont get that. and to those dads who dont make time for their children i say, come over here and talk to my 10 year old who wants nothing more then to have someone to make breakfast in bed for today, shoot hoops with, or who used to ask santa every year for someone to call dad. its important to them..... but for the rest of you great dads....HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! you deserve it!!

father figure is a phrase as potent as mother nature. say it out loud and the images fly from having a catch in the side of the yard to the sceen door slamming exit of the dead beat dad. for every fathers knows best and atticus finch there's a great santini bouncing a ball off the head of his teenage son. one thing's for sure, the father figure, in your face or out the door will make his presence felt like it or not. (in plain site)

until next time...safe journey.
