Father's Day
For a father's day it was a pretty normal day. Although I had trouble sleeping Saturday night and was pretty emotional both Saturday and Sunday, I managed to focus enough to facilitate my support group. After a period of time one is able to go to remote functioning if it is required.
The group spent our time talking about dads both good an bad. Each had a story. Some were endearing and some were not. Such is the story of life.
As I begin group I told the class that just as there are not any perfect mothers, there are not any perfect fathers, although some mothers come pretty close.
I hope if you have become a father that you picked the good traits of your father and incorporated them in your own life. For your father's bad traits , that you took an opposite approach and used the bad example to change yourself for the better.
And, if you are a a son or daughter that you honored you father today with your concern and time. Perhaps if at all possibly I hope you said, "Thanks Dad". Peace.
