Father's Day was, however, purely a commercial creation (unlike Mothering Sunday with which I had grown up) and I have never really recognised it.

I COULD have finished the wrap, but when I picked it up again, I could NOT remember what stitch I had been using, so I had to finish it off as a cowl.

I am sorry and I do know that days like Father's Day might bring some sorrow and regret, but I hope that you will forgive your Dad and also forgive YOURSELF for any hard feelings.

I was blessed with a super cool Dad...He died when I was 23 and I miss him everyday. I have many wonderful memories of him...one involved a bad house fire that destroyed most of our home when I was 10. I remember standing on the lawn crying, watching the firemen putting out the fire and all our possessions all over the lawn or burning in the house..he put his arm around me and told me that all that was just "stuff"...and the house would be rebuilt. But we were all safe and that was the only thing that was important to him..his family. yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-43151700855122820952013-06-16T22:16:44.871-04:002013-06-16T22:16:44.871-04:00I hope all the wonderful Dads in your family had a...I hope all the wonderful Dads in your family had a lovely weekend, Kay. My favorite memory of my father is going to hurling and Gaelic football matches with him. You see I had no brothers, and my two sisters had little interest in sport. Going to a match with Dad was my special time. I have so many fond memories of weekend afternoons spent in the stands at Croke Park in Dublin, eating an ice cream cone and watching the games. Thanks for bringing back such lovely memories.<br />All the best,<br />MaireadMaireadhttp://www.irishamericanmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-78311168441809678172013-06-15T21:08:25.166-04:002013-06-15T21:08:25.166-04:00Beautiful sky/cloud photo Kay!

He absolutely loves the ocean and walks out until only his head is visible. I'm quite the opposite and barely go in up to my knees! But I always loved when he carried me out!
