    I don’t generally believe in the paranormal whatsoever, but my dad gave us each a wallet-sized ouija board as a joke before he passed a few months ago (“keep in touch”), so I sent a quick “love you dad” on it, just in case.

    Miss dad every day. He passed about a year and a half ago. Was outside working and a mosquito bit him, a week later he was being taken off the ventilator. West Nile Virus, it attacked his nervous system and he couldn’t breathe on his own anymore.

    He wasn’t perfect, but he was mine. He loved me, and was always telling me how proud of me he was.

    I think it hurts more because I’m adopted. Dad chose me. Specifically. I was his, and he was proud of that. I miss him so damn much.

    My family mostly forgot about it, which honestly is fine.

    I got to watch my oldest son get his blackbelt in Aikido, and if that’s not a dad moment I’m not sure what is.

    Had a lovely day getting cards from wife and kids, nice dinner, invited my grandma over to join us. Miss my father but sent some messages to a couple of people who have filled a similar role since he passed.

    Tough, my dad died in 2012. My kid is busy and typically forgets things like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. I poke him to remember Mother’s Day.

    Who decides these days and how does one keep up with these? I’m off of mainstream media and now missed Father’s day. I just don’t bother with these anymore. Sure I’d like to celebrate a day for my dad but these occur on most random days that I barely keep with these, ever so since I have quit the normal social media.

    My father died when i was around 8, so can’t remember much about him. In addition i don’t really see the point or reason to put up the charade of celebrating holidays either. So it’s just another day.

    It’s an ordinary work day but I let myself sleep in a little. Kid and the baby mama are out of town today but I’ll get to hang out with the kid tomorrow and baby mama promised me a hookup as a Father’s Day present. Can’t complain lol.

    We had fathers day on 14. of May. It was okay. Had a little present basket for my father with foreign beers and crisps and got myself a kindergarten crafted present from my daughter.
