Hello all, and a happy father's day to all the fathers out there. As a father of 4 and a dad of 8 let me tell you this is one of the holidays that I like, unfortunately, 4 of my kids live in other countries and states and due to meddling from ex-wives 1 still communicates with me, one is perpetually pissed off at me (we are going on 5 years now) and 2 are too young to contact me directly ( I can hope they will be allowed to reach out to me when they are older, as I am unsure they even get the cards and gifts I send as there is never any feedback). Now before this starts to sound like a "poor me" post let me say these are choices I made and am now paying the price for, while I love my children and support them I am not regretting my choices. These choices and paths lead me to HBD and for this, I am ever grateful.
My HBD and the 2 children that still dwell with us went out to dinner the next town over and to also get my father's day gift, A new Propane grill (as my current grill is about 11 years old been moved across country, and frankly it is well used and just worn out, I got my money's worth 5x over). We all had a great dinner at a steakhouse and the waiter even made the youngest one laugh (a difficult feat most of the time). Then when we got home the youngest and I assembled the grill. I am thankful for MY HBD and all of our Kids both near and far and hope to reunite with the distant ones and eventually heal all the wounds and issues.
Oh, and I almost forgot the oldest child and I are going to a concert tonight (I would like to think it is my father's day gift but I don't know the band). So I am signing off for this week and will have more in the next episode of Sir Sunday.
