Venting My Spleen

Fathers Day.

Most of my friends have been out carefully (or not so carefully) selecting fathers day cards and presents and duely moaning about the price of them or how much theyve had to spend on them.
They speak about the giving of such presents in a flippant way saying things like "well he'd better be grateful" or "he doesnt deserve anything decent this year".
Its all said in good humour and to be honest I know that they love thier dads and only say such things because theyre comfortable with the fact that hes always been there to buy presents for, fix the leaky radiator or sit round the table on a sunday burping or farting.

My dad died 3 years ago,at the age of 64 , I only had him for 29 years and god how I miss him now.
I hate listening to people moan on about the price of a fathers day card Id give up everything I own and pay any price to be able to hand him a card and give him a cuddle.
My dad was the back bone of my family, he was the one man in my life who never ever let me down and always had the right word of advice wether it was what I wanted to hear or not.

He has left an enormous hole in my life and in my heart and I don't think I will ever get over him not being here.
Sometimes it feels like he's been gone so long, he was never here at all. sometimes I wake up in the morning and remember he died and I physically cant breathe.

Don't take the people you love for granted, don't assume they will be here tommorrow. Tell them how you feel about them now, today for if you don't,when they are gone you will for ever have regrets.
Don't moan about the price of a card, buy the most expensive one you can afford for one day youll look back and count all the special occasions that theyve been missing for and wish, just wish that you get that chance just one more time.

Happy Fathers day Dad , I love you
