Father's Day...

Tomorrow is Father's Day.

Someone from Marketing created this day. I don't recall seeing it on t he greco-roman calendar from 200BC. So what does this mean, this Father's Day. The designated moment in the calendar year where we pay respect and reflect on the person we call "Father". Daughter uses the Father's Day moment to make nice cards to three father's in her life. Biological (me), step-father (Ex's newish husband) and step-father (biological father's partner). But what does Father's Day mean for me this year.

In the past I recall giving Dad a huge poster with "Happy Father's Day" written on it using pennies. There were the obligatory ties, handy man tools, books, videos and such. Today, this year, I'm not sure what would be appropriate. What could I possibly give a man who fights everyday with his disability? He fights to get better. He fights so he won't be a burden on his wife. He fights so he may leave the hospital and return to the comforts of a home he doesn't remember. Maybe this is the day to respect and honour a man who has struggled in the past year against something we can't see.

This Father's Day is different from any other Father's Day. This is a Father's Day to be in awe of my Father for what he has accomplished.
