Can we take a moment to wish a Happy Father's Day to all Fathers?

Asked by AmWiser (14947points) June 18th, 2011

Even though I lost my Pops 5yrs ago I adored him while he was living. My Pops was always there for me and he is sorely missed.

To all the great dads on Fluther, I’d like to wish you a fantastic and beautiful Father’s Day.

To all the single parents on Fluther who are both mother and father to your child(ren), Happy Father’s Day!

If you like, please share your special plans for Dad today.

I lost my dad too, but he was totally awesome, and he died doing what he did best; refusing to cut his hair. :D And loving me, despite how bumpy things often got. And just being generally awesome, and introducing me to all sorts of cool, obscure and and funky music and movies.
If he can hear me, happy Father’s Day dad! :D

Daddy, you should have seen me run that marathon. But, then again, maybe you did. [My father died days before I ran the Marine Corps marathon. He thought it was a dumb thing to do.] Well, now, Harriet’s got you busy now since she’s arrived, no doubt. Have a happy second honeymoon! She brought some Jack Daniels in her travel bag, courtesy your gtandson.

Yes. I was a daddy’s girl to the very end. I adored my father and I lost him in April of 2007 and miss him every day. But his voice is always in the back of my head, keeping me honest and responsible, even if I do have to ask him to stop bugging me sometimes, I know he’s right and appreciate him being there for me, still, 4 years and counting, after his death. I loved you and I miss you so much Poppa Doodle.

I was lucky that my parents stayed together and had a good marriage. 47 years when my mother died. Please, fathers, busy fathers, non-custodial fathers, please make time for your children, they matter. No one will ever love you as much as your children will. And if their mothers make that hard for you, take them to court. It matters, it really does, to both you and your children. End of lecture

I lost my dad 27 years ago. I have now been without him longer than I was with him.
He was a legend, both in his job, and to his family. I suffer still from missing him.
Happy Fathers Day, Dad.

And Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there!

Happy Happy Father’s Day to the Dads in the collective! I have had moments of being deeply touched when some of you have talked about your kids. Your children are lucky little jelly babies!

I wish that my Dad was a better Dad. I don’t think that he knows how to be one. Sadly, he is pretty self-absorbed. He’s 73 and he is not going to change anytime soon. I know that he loves his family, though.

Happy Father’s Day
I miss you

Even though you sometimes forget what your duties are,
Even though you sometimes forget who you yourself are.
Even though you make me cry sometimes,
I’d still choose you over a 100 million dimes.
Happy Father’s Day!
I brought my dad a giant bar of chocolate… it’s his right as a father, even if he isn’t the best one around.

Jude's avatar

Here is a photo of my Pops and my big sister Lisa. He is 23 here.

MilkyWay's avatar

@Jude They both look so cute!

anartist's avatar

@jonsblond I did the same. He’s in France during WWII

lillycoyote's avatar

@anartist That’s a great shot. I had trouble deciding on a picture and had considered using one of my Dad as a young sailor in WWII. They were just kids then; my dad enlisted in 1942 at 17.
