Father's Day!
Oy. Father's Day is just around the corner! Yikes.
I have a wealth of fathers in my life. My dad. Ian's father. Ian's step-father. They are all wonderful. They are all pains in the butt to buy or make presents for. What do you give a man who already buys everything he might want for himself? What do you give the man who raised you, loved you, bailed you out a million times, and helped you become the person you are today? What do you give the man whom you recently feared might check out of your life altogether?
Then there's my darling husband, the father on whom I depend most these days! How do you infuse a gift with all the love and appreciation and gratitude you feel? It's impossible, and yet the opportunity to try comes around every year, challenging me every time.
I know not everyone has this "problem." I know some people would give anything to have a dad to give gifts to. I'm wealthy in the dad department and I'm grateful. I'm just wondering out loud.
