Fathers Day Leftovers

Yesterday was Fathers Day. After all 3  of Doug's kids called bearing well wishes and happy grateful thoughts, Doug headed to the computer to write and I headed to the sofa to nap- our usual Sunday routine.

My mind drifted back, to a drunken father who left this earth over 30 years ago. Further back, memories of my mother with broken teeth and bones, of pet cats shot dead in the middle of the night. No warm fuzzy paternal memories to make the day special to me...

Just as I began to doze off, the phone rang yet again. I listened as Doug fielded yet another call- this time from my own daughter, who had her own thanks and greetings to give to the man who didn't become her stepfather until she was well into her twenties.

As I looked over at Doug's glowing face, I realized just who and what Fathers Day is for. Some men are  such special people, they need a whole day to do justice to the difference they've made in childrens lives. I got off the couch, and when the phone was free I called the other special father in my life- my son.
