Get this, Out of the blue my wife just asked me what SHE is going to get for Fathers Day!Holy smokes, Sunday is Fathers day and I have not yet begun to think about what I want or need. Oh well, in as much as I will be the one buying, whatever, I guess I'm still safe. Any suggestion? Couple years back I bought the wife a JD Gator for Mothers day, I use it all the time.
I guess what goes around, comes around.

I think I'll visit my dads gravesite,(passed away 3.5 years ago) say a quick prayer for him; visit my moms gravesite, (passed away 24 years ago) say a quick prayer for her. May they RIP! Roger

I usually get clothes for fathers day. Update the ratty stuff I've been wearing. I happen to know though, my great wife got me two tickets to a BB-King/Buddy Guy concert at Bethel woods. Will take my son, she's not into Blues. For the fun stuff, like tools, and machines, I take care of that myself. Why wait for a holiday?

About the only thing I'll be getting for father's day is a phone call from our daughter and grandkids. The wife is visiting them as we speak. Unfortunately none of the gift giving days hold any special meaning anymore since we lost our son 2 years ago while serving our country. Will most likely go visit him Sunday.

A salute to your son for his Service and Sacrifice. A Salute to you Sir as a Father who has lost a son. (To your wife as well.

A card, a phone call, some slippers, a subscription to a magazine... BORING.
This year I'm taking my dad to one of the premier events on the pacific northwest: the Lind, Washington Combine Demolition Derby and Wheat Truck Race. Wow, not your typical present. He will remember loud smoke-belching diesel smelling displays of redneck violence and destruction of huge farm machinery long after some golf club cover.
Here's to you dad!

My deepest sympathy to all those who've lost a father or son (along with all other loved ones).
As I sit here trying to type this response with my six year old mini-boss insisting on talking to me, distracting me, interupting my thoughts, insisting I come up stairs for my surprise breakfast, while she's leaning on my shoulder yawning because she got up early out of excitement for today, I am reminded of just how fortunate I am.
Wishes to all for a great fathers day and wishing fond memories to those who've lost loved ones.
Sincerely,
Joel
