Today is the day after Father's Day and Mother's Day is over by a month. These days were and are both nice in the way that they allow us to slow down long enough to set aside our own pursuits to honor those folks who raised us. With both my parents gone, it is especially touching to celebrate these days.
I honor my parents and am grateful for them. My father was a fine military man and a great American. My mom was tenderhearted and truly a miraculous homemaker and wife.
My son, whom I raised basically alone, gives me both a Mother's Day and Father's Day greeting as he realizes that I often found myself playing both roles. He himself is a fine father, an honest and generous man, and a great husband.
Here is hoping that your Father's Day and/or Mother's Day was enjoyable. Also, let me remind you that Moms and Dads are Moms and Dads everyday so honor them every day with your love and support. Personally, I recommend plenty of hugs.
