I haven’t got too much to say about Father’s Day, as with Dad’s anniversary this week, l I had pretty much covered it a few days ago. Fate decreed he died close to Father’s Day and on some years it can actually fall on the same day.
I think there is the added personal sadness for me on Father’s Day, in that I have never had children of my own. Becoming a father was something I wanted all my life and unfortunately it never happened for me. I can be quite tough on myself about this sometimes, as I can only blame myself and my failings for this. However, I can’t change the past and am now putting my energies into the present and future. Living for today and the moment.
I didn’t manage to get myself a bar of toblerone this year to “toast” dad. Most years on Father’s Day I would either give him a bar of toblerone or a pack of beers for him to drink in the garden on a weekend lunchtime. So toblerone is on my radar in coming days x
