I’ve been working on a post about how my writing has been more productive lately. It is a good post and you’ll like it. There are some tweeking I need to do to it to make it really useful and polished, but it will be good. But I am not posting that today. Today is Fathers Day.

I have four children. They are all great and all so different from each other. Really enjoyable people that are a blessing to my wife and I. So, I am not going to spend a lot of time on this post today. You may find some spelling and grammar mistakes and that is because today isn’t about the writing, it is about being with my family.

My wife and I both lost our fathers as adults. Our moms are still going strong, thanks for asking. I know that loosing my dad was when I really realized how big a deal fathers were. When I felt how big a hole he left in my life and how as a full grown adult with kids of my own I still needed him. Even if we didn’t talk for weeks at a time, just knowing he was there was a comfort. A comfort I didn’t know I had until it was gone.

I am still here for my kids. So today this is all you are getting from me. Sorry. If you have a father, give him a call and let him know you are thinking about him. If you are a father, then you know you could do better (sorry it is true of all of us). But today though, it is alright to accept the tie from the kids and maybe they will mention dads at church (mine handed out cookies) and that is great. Let them express their thanks however they can and know you are doing alright.

Happy Fathers Day
