UncleJay Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Just a little best wishes on the special day. This happens to be my favorite holiday. I do feel the day's name should be changed. I'd call it Dad's Day, as "Dad" I feel has a warmer more personal sound.....besides, what Father doesn't like a DD? Enjoy guys!
hank7502 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Thanks! Happy Dad's Day to you and everyone in this place. I will also be a grandfather in September!
cornerstone Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Congrats to Hank (on the impending grand kid and fathers day) and to Jay, and to all the other Dads out there. We rock!!! Sadly, father's day here is perpetually on the same frickin' weekend as my mother-in-law's birthday - I should have checked the small print before committing, I know, I know. I wouldn't mind, except mothers day is such a pain in the ass for me (children don't do shit, it's all me cooking it!)

Sir-Lancelot Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Thank you and Happy Fathers Day to everyone. I agree, I like Dad better too. Father is the one who has to cut that ass when they act fool.
LordRasta Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Same to you Uncle Jay and all the Dads here, soon to be Dads and those that want to be Dads one day. I will enjoy a quiet day tomorrow, enjoy my favorite meal of meatloaf and homemade mashed potatoes and enjoy the NBA game. Oh and I plan to change watches throughout the day.
Fireman_Fred Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Father's day has a slight poignancy to it this year for me. My 18 year old daughter gave birth to a son on 22nd April (making me a VERY young Grandad !! ). Unfortunately, three days after he was born he was rushed into intensive care with infantile meningitis. He spent the first two weeks of his life on anti-biotics and anti-seizure drugs. He came home when he was three weeks old and we looked forward to him growing up happy and healthy. However, when he was only 5 weeks old, he was diagnosed with a SECOND bout of meningitis! He is now 7 weeks old and has just had his last injection of anti-biotics (although he will be on oral anti-biotics for the next few weeks. We hope we have seen the last of the nasty infection that had invaded his little body and we can only pray that he doesn't have too much in the way of future problems (physical or mental).
mikellem Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Happy Fathers day to all Fathers.... Enjoy your special day with your loved ones... @Fireman_Fred My heart goes out to you... You grand child is in my thoughts and prayers... -MM
UncleJay Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Posted June 14, 2008 My family's prayers are with your entire family. I'm sure all will be fine. Best to all in your home.
Fireman_Fred Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 @MM & Uncle Jay: Thanks for your kind sentiments. Being told your grandson "might not make it..." when he's only 4 days old concentrates the mind somewhat !! Happy Father's Day to all you fellow Dads out there !
Slartibartfast Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 It's father's day all year round for me. Surrounded my my two beautiful daughters, and loving wife. What more could a man want! At least that is what my wife tells me.
hambone Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Happy Fathers day to all the Dad's of the world! My 18 year old son just graduated from High School, yesterday, and that is a rewarding gift for Dad.

OMG I wish you the best of luck. i can't imagine the stress involved, luckily my son has not had any serious illnesses, but he is related to me, so ithey will come at some point.
