What a nice tribute! Whether still with us or not, we need to say something nice to him today.

We need to do something we know would bring a smile or remind others of him.

Regardless of your relationship with your dad, this is a good day to tell him something nice that you know he would like to hear.

Thanks Cookiely. Clearly having him in your life was important to you.

How I wish my Father and my Father-in-law were here to be enjoying their first great grandchild on this side of the family. Neither of them lived long enough to see thier great grand children and both would be much worse than this graddaddy is about spoiling them rotten. I couldn't have asked for two better fathers to be in my life than these two.
As Steve says, no matter what your relationship is or was with your father there was or is some good there. Look for it, latch on to it, remember it.

Thanks Dad!!!
