I had a bittersweet relationship with my father. Emphasis on bitter. I used to have an impossible time finding a Father's Day card for that man. My father was not sappy, and frankly, none of those Thanks Dad, for being my rock cards would have made a whole lot of sense in the context of our relationship.
One thing my father did have was a sense of humor. So I think he would appreciate this card I made for him today.
There's no way I could fit all of my complicated feelings about my father into a Stream of Consciousness Sunday post. So I am going to link to a letter that I wrote to my father this year, on what would have been his 78th birthday.
Happy Father's Day, Dad. You would be happy to know that Lucien's father is amazing.
Like the idea of Stream of Consciousness Sunday? Link up at All Things Fadra.


I'm glad the the SOC writing prompt and link up has lead me to your blog. I enjoyed this post and will be back for more I'm sure. Great photo's and Happy Father's Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kisha!
DeleteWhy do dads have to be so goddamned complicated? I read your letter. I felt angry and sad and had tears all at the same time. I guess that means you've done your job as a writer.
ReplyDeleteI think men are just intrinsically selfish. Ha! I hope my husband doesn't read my blog.
