My father has been gone for almost 30 years and as each year passes, there is a new memory to uncover. The things we take for granted while they are here can provide emotions of selfishness when they are gone. Now that my children are a young adults, I see the same thought process in them. No doubt that is true of most families and generations. Still, as a father, you wouldn’t trade anything for joys and sorrows of raising a child. To all the men out there that have been blessed with the opportunity to be fathers, “here’s to you” on the upcoming Father’s Day on June 15th. Whether you think your children appreciate you or not, they do and that appreciation will only grow as they mature.
