To all my Brethren who, like myself, have sweated bullets, feared "Shotgun weddings", made multiple trips to the pharmacy for test kits, have gotten saddled my family as a last minute baby sitter, and still are around, I say "Here's to YOU, Non- Father, Here's to YOU". drinker drinker drinker drinker drinker drinker drinker drinker drinker drinker drinker drinker

I say "Here's to YOU, Non- Father, Here's to YOU".


Thank you. As a habitual non-parent myself, I appreciate the sediment.

OK, so when do we get our own holiday? With discounts and stuff....

BAD TIMING!

True Fathers get little enough thanks and appreciation for the sacrifice, accepting of responsibility, filling the shoes of runaway sperm-donors and absent mothers, working long, thankless hrs to provide, going without so that their children don't, etc, etc!

Ever being the family rock is sometime misread. We need to hear Thanks Dad, we need to hear the kudo's, the recognition, the appreciation - - - even if it only comes once a year . . .

Inside every good father is an big ole softie named

DADDY

It's just one day
Go give a Dad a warm feeling today .Even if he doesn't show it he'll feel it

I say
LIGHTEN UP!

Dad's and Mom's generally get a whole heck of a lot more attention, adulation, focus and 'kudos' in society than adults who for any number of reasons don't have children of their own. I always feel a tinge of guilt and/or sadness when I'm being 'feted' on Mother's Day and I'm surrounded by women who can't/don't have kids and there's no section at Hallmark dedicated to them or their contributions to society.

Let my boy Sully have his moment, today ... he bedazzles me regularly with his witty repartee (and that's no small feat, let me assure you!). The fact that he isn't a father, doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to hear 'well done' for going to work every day, being a great (no, make that OUTSTANDING) friend, serving his country, trimming his nose and ear hair on a regular basis, etc.

It's just one day
Go tell a non-Father that you think they rock. Even if he doesn't show it, he'll feel all warm 'n fuzzy inside too.

I Say
The most cherished title a man can hold is the point of the day.
I have 'Fathered' 12, only 1 biologically. I am not alone. What I have in common with other true Fathers is gratefully accepting, even seeking to be there.

Never have I felt 'saddled', or a 'baby-sitter', not once have I
"sweated bullets, feared "Shotgun weddings",-- due to lust without responsibility
hustled off to "made multiple trips to the pharmacy for test kits," hoping for a negative
felt I'd "gotten saddled ..." with a child, nor has one ever felt that from our time spent
felt I was a time-passing, "baby sitter, "


I don't know 'your boy Sully' but

today isn't about his nose hairs tmi)your (protective) friendship, or his service to the country (he's not alone)

It's about being there as a Father.

More power to the part-timers they play a role too. Just don't sully(sic) the willing 24/7/365 team.

drinker to Gretali. Happy Father's Day. Just one question, why are you here nattering with the likes of smartasses like me - shouldn't you be celebrating this special day with 1, 2, or 8 of your 12? It's your day ... go on, get out there and enjoy it with your family. I just got off the phone with mi padre myself and have nothin' but love for the dad's of the world. Nuff said.

Thank you Elaine. flowerforyou
2 are spending the weekend. 4 live out of town and I'm waiting to hear from 1 stationed in Japan, and one in Turkey. CA and VA have already checked in. 3 are coming over at 6 to start with a poolside party by 'children' for parents. 2 are with their mom and her soon-to-be husband, 1 was called away long ago.
Feel blessed that your Dad was there, I'm glad you could at least speak with him today.

Yes, to all the stand-ins, to the mothers who are fathers too, to anyone who has loved a child that otherwise may have had a hole in their world, and today, especially to the Fathers;

Thank you.

...
Mr. Sully, you are a gentleman;
Happy Fathers Day drinker

I get many Mother's Day cards and yet I've never had a child.
And I honor many men in my life who are not my biological father, but play a very special role in my life.
