yeah, i know that it isn't Father's Day yet...just wanted to get a little off my chest. i'm not a Dad (yet), but my wife & i are really excited for when we start a family. i just wanted to say happy Father's Day to all the Dads here on the board.
also....
my Dad passed away 6 years ago after a short, intense & grueling battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). there isn't a day that passes that i don't think about him & wish that i could just speak to him one more time. i guess what i'm trying to say is---take the time to talk to your parents & family. you never know when the last conversation will happen. miss you, Dad.
to all the Dads & Dads-to-be, Happy Father's Day.
thanks-
Matt

Matt, thanks for this. As Father's Day approaches, I've been thinking of the same kinds of things you're saying. I'm sorry you no longer have your dad in your life but I bet he'd be very proud of the guy you are today! I lost my dad unexpectedly in October 2007 and just as you said, I think about him every day and still miss him in my life. The pain of his death has eased considerably but I would so love to talk with him again. I agree, treasure your parents while you have them.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads on the board!

P.S. Matt, I bet you will be an awesome dad someday!"The stars are all connected to the brain."0 -
Matt,
To reiterate what whoprincess said, this is a beautiful gesture. I'm very sorry to hear of your Dad passing away, losing someone is never, ever easy. My condolences to you. Thinking of him everyday, I can relate...I think about my sis day in and day out. From the experience I've had talking to you, you seem to be a very kind and unique soul who is not afraid to tell and show his affection to those that he loves, and I too am confident you'll make an awesome dad when the time comes.
All you Pops on the board, and every where else...Happy Fathers Day!7/2/06 - Denver, CO

I was hoping to get to celebrate my first Father's Day, but our little guy isn't being so cooperative. My fiance was due last Monday, but our kid seems to want to stay in her belly..."The dude abides. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' her easy for all us sinners."0

My Dad was the most talented, happy, funny and awesome man i'll ever know... My inspiration and best friend. I lost him suddenly in August last year and not a single day passes that I don't miss or think about him in one way or another, whether it's making me laugh with memories of his Dad-isms or bringing a tear to my eye when I hear music that reminds me of him so much.
We were busy for last years Father's Day and didn't see him on the day, 2 months later my Dad was gone... This afternoon i'm visiting his grave and saying Happy Father's Day in person.
To all of you who still have your Dad's or are father's yourselves, make sure you tell those around you that you love them... and give an extra hug for those of us who can't.
Happy Father's Day xBeen to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

I guess I can't really be offended by this term anymore... cause now it's literally true"The dude abides. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' her easy for all us sinners."0 -

Happy Father's day.
I always laugh when my mom tells my dad everyday is father's day for him. lol0 -
I had a great day with my dad, took him and my mom and sis out for lunch at his favorite place in San Jose, and then on a nice drive to a festival at Mission San Juan Bautista
even worked on a drawing with him, first time ever collaborating on an art piece. That was super awesome.
I love my pa0 -
