Entry #6. Fathers Day

     I just realized yesterday, that Father's Day is this coming Sunday. I know that for most people, Father's Day takes a back seat to Mother's Day, because after all, Mom carried you in her womb for 9 months. Most likely, she was also the one who nurtured you the most during the first few years of your life. For many people both male and female, mom was always their anchor, their go-to parent in times of need. Mom was always there with sympathetic eyes and ears.

   Historically, dad was a different breed. He was more concerned about being a provider, as well as the disciplinarian. He might of even seemed "cold" at times, heading off to work no matter what, and then punishing us when he arrived home, for things that we did wrong while he was away at work. "Wait till your father gets home!" used to be a popular phrase for mothers to threaten misbehaving children. Even though we were a little afraid of dad, that fear also taught us respect. Like it or not, You probably learned a lot more than you think from dear old dad. Dad was always there for you as well, in his own way. When you thought he was being mean, he was really trying to teach you about life from the hard lessons that he had learned. If your father is like most fathers, he doesn't expect much for fathers day. So give him something that is priceless. An hour or two of your undivided time will mean the world to him. As you spend your time with your father on Father's day, it's important that you remember this:

                                                              
If you text, talk, email or google during your "Special Father's Day time" together, you might just bring out the disciplinarian side of dear old Dad that you had long forgotten about. Trust me on this one.

    I strongly agree. It is important to know and understand that some fathers all they want is the undivided attention from their children. In fact, just recently I had asked my dad what he would like for Fathers Day, and he responded exactly like this "All I want is you and your sisters undivided attention at breakfast." Such a simplistic man my father is. Thank you Mark for sharing this, some of us needed to hear it.
