Thread Name: BS: Father's Day memory
Subject: RE: BS: Father's Day memory
My Father's Day memory is poignant to me because it was last Sunday, which was also my birthday. My son and grandchildren came over with hugs and kisses, gifts, cards, jokes and wine. My son gave me a Father's Day card in spite of my having told him over the years not to bother with this commercial gimmick. However, the lyric enclosed in it was far from the usual treacle, but a declaration of love that brought me to tears. When I'm dead that card will be found carefully preserved among my effects. I'm very glad that my son ignored my years of strictures about Father's day. I wouldn't have missed this one for all the world. Burl
