To All Dads and Granddads.happy Fathers Day.




Tomorrow being Fathers Day.


Well as many children and adult will be visiting dad on his big day.
How I envy these people as many will be visiting dad.
May go fishing,playing tennis or just be together.
I never had a relationship with my father.
Why did I not asked him when being little where did I come from?
Who are we?who are my ancestor etc.
Why did you come to the states,did not like where you were at.
Yes,questions,questions as many of us have not asked Dad or Pa etc.
Well most of the information that I got had to go online to find out who he is.
Was he a good man,bad man,gangster etc.
Why did I not ask?was I afraid of him etc.
None of my siblings ask.
What does this tell you?think that most of us was afraid to ask or did not know how to ask.
Why did he not gather us and tell us the history of where he came from and our grandparent which I never met or had.
Maybe because he could not speak English very well to tell us.
Why did we not ask him tell us a story etc.
What am I getting at.
For those of you still have your dad and granddad asked them.
Pumped them.How did they meet mom etc.
I do envy them going over to dad and mom house for Sunday dinner or just getting together.
Why am I still here with all of my family gone.
Was I spare?Why at this age I do not live like an old man like most of them do.
I hear music all of the time in my head.Songs from many years ago.
Everything that I did and learn was in my later years of life.
Why did this not happen when I was young?
Maybe something is waiting for me out there.Don"t ask.
Why am I running or walking around with many out there in pain and cannot get around.
Why am I not in wheel chair,walker,why!!!!!
Happy Fathers Day and enjoy your dad and granddad.
Hang up your cell,I pad and enjoy the visit
As most of you know,you never grow up.Nor should you.Keep up the curiosity h
The yearning and learning.Keep everything in balance.
How do grow up without growing old.
Is this me,have not grown up and still act like a child?
Is this a good thing for me and keeping my self young?
I do not feel like 82 and I know that am not.
What is it?what keeps me going.
If you stop growing then you will die.
Being a father is a tough job.
For me it was and did not fare too well in raising my children.
I know that I fail and why did I fail.
Should not had children,that is the answer
Some men meant to be Dad and some don't
Most men are not cut up to be a dad.
For those who know this,they mad a smart choice.
I did not.
I wanted to be a son to my dad but did not.
No!I do not feel sorry for myself.
Still have many years to grow up.
No matter what age I am.Still be a kid,child etc.
Good afternoon.

Revealing post. You've been through a lot over your life time, but you have retained your sense of humor and "child-like" qualities. Here's wishing you many more Fathers Day days.

Had a close relationship with my dad until I was 7 -- then the bad years. But I moved to New York and married and made up with him. He was a product of his time and culture (Greece in the early 1900s). I forgave him.

I had my Dad fill out a little book that is all about him, so I got the details! I am sorry your relationship with your Dad was troubled...

Have your children asked you all that stuff? My mother's attitude was 'you'd never believe it if I told you' so I had to find out about her family, etc. from my cousins. And the story my dad told us about what he did in WWII turned out not to be true.

yes,the children know about their grandparents as I have told them many times.
They also asked more question which is a good thing.gave all the information that I could think of and then some.More to come

thanks AJ.nice hearing from you.Happy Fathers Day there also

Fredo, your dad did not teach you how to be a father. Don't blame yourself.
I am glad you are still fourteen at heart. I had a wonderful father and ironically, I dreamed about him last night. He taught me about unconditional
love. I am thankful to still be running around. People just age at
different rates and we are lucky. Enjoy!!!!
