Nancy - Question of the Week - What special plans do you have for Father's Day

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your kind words......I hope someone can use this as a gift to someone

they love.

Sometimes death slip up on us and I think there is not a parent in the world

who would not

like to know that their adult children think they did a good job, that the

children learned good, helpful things

from them and that they love them even thought life gets in the way. Once

they are gone.....they are gone

and the chance to say " I love you " is gone with them. Our 20 year old

college student daughter didn't have any money at Christmas for gifts and she

wrote me a letter of love and thanks. I used to write them to my Mom and Dad.

That letter meant more to me than any gift that money could have bought.

Almost all 7 of my kids and I have " butted " heads at some point in time, but

they know I would give my life for them at the drop of

a hat and I know they love me and think I AM a pretty smart cookie. Family,

family, family......

This would be so special to a father. My heart is touched by what you

suggested. My father and father in law, both precious, died in 2005. I miss them

too.

Re: Re: Question of the Week - What special plans

do you have for Father's Day

 

What about writing your father a love and thanks letter......a letter telling

him how much

you love him.....how much the things he did in your childhood have meant to

you in terms

of your adult life and in the lives of your children. If your father is a

veteran, tell him how

proud you are of him for serving his country.....if not tell him how proud you

are that he is

your dad. I am sure you can find something to be proud of about him and his

life.

Sit down with your dad.....ask him questions about his childhood....questions

about his parents and about when your parents met. Just let him know that he

is a

very important part of your life.

 

If he has special skills that would be of interest or would help your

Brownie's learn

something special.....ask him to talk to or show your girls about that skill.

 

I was a Girl Scout leader 3 different times for my daughters.....you will see

why three

different times when I tell you their ages. My oldest daughters are 34 and

31....my

younger daughters are 24, 20 and 18. I used to love to take my Girl Scouts to

visit

with older people who knew about the way things " used " to be done. Kind of

like

a Juliette Low Day Learning time without all of the fanfare. And when they

become

older Girl Scouts, they might be able to use information they learned from

your dad

to help them get a badge.

 

I wish my Dad were still alive so I could just give him a hug and tell him how

much

I love him. He has been gone since 1996 and my Mom since 1984.....I miss them

both very much.....every day.

Well, i am a Brownie Guider, and on Saturday i am taking the Brownies

on a Sleepover, till Sunday. But as yet i haven't got my Dad anything

and haven't an idea, what do you get someone who has everything,

doesn't need anything and doesn't want anything.

Suggestions Please, from desperate.
