Father's Day

I spent the last 2 days in the hospital which is just stupid. I really don't feel alot better, but hopefully I will in the next few days. I went to the family Father's Day celebration at my parents. It was supposed to be here, but ended up moved because of the whole hospital thing. I was thinking back that as a kid Father's Day was this very secondary holiday in my family. My dad was gone and my aunt was a single parent. My grandfather never commanded much attention and was so sweet and wonderful. We spent many Father's days at their house. After awhile, it seemed like he was doing all of the work-so we moved it to our house. One year it dawned on us, that my mom was both Mother and Father and it didn't seem right that she did most of the work for Father's Day. It just always seemed to be work for someone that it shouldn't have been work for. Today, I was NO help to anyone. My brother ( a wonderful father) grilled...It's nice that the Father's Day tradition continues. What really matters is that as a family, you love and appreciate those around us. I am glad to be part of a family that does that..no matter who is doing the work.
