TO ALL THE FATHERS IN MY LIFE

I believe Jim Fitzpatrick was correct when he said you would grow up grand. BJ

And you did grow up 'grand' and I feel so fortunate to call you friend. A lovely piece you've posted for Father's Day. We may only have one biological father, but lots of others who act as Dad at one time or another. It makes me look back and think of the many "father figures" I had in my own life. They helped make us the people we are today, and I'm thankful for each one--especially my Uncle Tom who always, always had a stick of gum in his pocket with my name on it. Or so he claimed!

Dear Veronica, what a fine tribute to those good men who cared. In this modern day, let us hope and pray that many more children will grow up-- Grand. Tom

Dear Veronica,
A lesson for everyone here, to stop and forget the corporate and commercial pressures of this world; and remember ourselves and the people who have 'touched' us on our journey to who we have become.

Hi Veronica,
I truly like the way you express yourself in written words, and the smiles you often bring by sharing musings and remembrances with us readers. There were several men who influenced your life from an early age, and herein you have paid them tribute in an endearing way. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and memories.
Blessings and joy,
Sandi in FL.
