Happy Father's Day
I just called my dad. Got voice mail. Wished him a happy father's day. Hope everyone out there called their dads if that's possible.
I had a great day. We've been listening to old mixed tapes. Inspired by Love Is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time which I'm reading now. Great book. The kids are enjoying listening to music that their parents put together 25 years ago.
Fred,
My Dad Died in 97’ Not a sob story here, my mom divorced him when I was one year old (in 61’) due to a drinking problem he would not address, until it was too late. I didn’t get to know him before I was in my twenties. My Mother never said a bad word about him. I learned everything about him on my own (and my compassion for others from her).
My dad was a good man, with a bad problem, and I wish he was here, so I could say “I love you”!
All the best to you and your family on this important day!

Love is a Mix Tape is a fantastic book; I just finished reading it myself yesterday. From your postings here, I'm guessing that it will strike home with you as well.
