I've spent the last five years since my dad died not thinking about Father's Day... I mean, my family wasn't going to bring it up, and I was going to a school that wished they knew a way to separate from their family completely while still getting money from them... (Plus, school usually ended before Father's Day) But now I'm working at a store that celebrates everything... so it's hitting me harder than I expected. I'm seeing all these people getting cards for their dads, or presents... and all I can think is... "I can't even visit him..." the most I'm going to do on the day is try watching his favorite movie and ask my family if I can get tacos.... that's about it. I never really got old enough to give him anything or think about Father's day... I don't remember ever celebrating it... And of all dads, he deserved it... I watched the Roast of William Shatner tonight, and all I could think is, that wide opened smile that Shatner had whenever he was laughing... reminded me of my dad... except, my dad was missing teeth during the last year of his life... I thought that made him more adorable... yeah, I call my dad adorable..... I miss him.
