My Dad has been both my father and my mother for a long time now. And having just spent a week with him after a bit of a bobble, I find it very hard to imagine my sphere minus him in it. Anyway, Wendy thanks for posting your always juicy, generous thoughts. I hope Barry the B. had lotsa sizzle in his afternoon. Tell him I will be back for coffee. The mint made it without all being munched by kitty (pics to follow.) Jam as bribe for DS noted, but DD? And my DH says Klingon book coolest.<br /><br />PS I do want a hair do-over when you come "west." But agree we look like a long-time tandem act.

I always look forward to her comments on your and on Dani's blog, so I can imagine that you fell into chatting like long-lost friends. <br /><br />My dad died when I was 10, so I don't have that many memories. He definitely gave me my love of reading and learning - he was an immigrant, from Ukraine, and one of the first books I read on my own was the book he learned English from, there were lots of short stories in the back (I still have it). He lived through the famine in Ukraine and the Second World War, so not an easy life.<br /><br />My husband is such a joker - when we had a Japanese student living with us for a year when the kids were smaller, she just didn't know how to take him at first. Her father worked late all the time and was very serious - Gerry was home at 4.15 pm every day (at that time) and you cannot get a straight answer from him about anything! She eventually learned to appreciate him and told him so before she left. <br /><br />Happy Fathers' Day to Barry and all the other dads, enjoy your day!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05504513116873595049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-29704533188562694852013-06-16T12:34:58.303-03:002013-06-16T12:34:58.303-03:00Thinking of you this Father's Day.

They tend to be overlooked and though they don't want to be fussed over, they do deserve this day.
