My dad

Comment Published at 06:0406:048 comments8 comments34 Visits34 VisitsReport

Just a tribute really to one of the best men in the world. Today my man was off doing a course in the city and my boys had gone to see their dad for the weekend so I took a little drive only about 40 minutes drive to my parents house. I bought him some scratchies though there was no luck there, but it was a nice day. He has had a fairly rough year. He is going through chemo at present and had a major operation where they have removed some of his bowel. He is still smiling though and getting on with his life. My brother came down too so it was just us 4 adults. Cold meat and salad for lunch and plenty of cups of tea and chatting. The boys cut the cockatoos wing and we threw the ball to the dog all afternoon. Dad gave us some vegetables from his garden. I don't know how they can get there garden so nice. We watered all the pot plants and flushed out the water feature too so we could see the fish. Anyway had a great day with such a loving, caring, amazing dad. I feel so lucky to have such wonderful parents. Hope everyone else had a great father's day!

Re: My dad

im glad you enjoyed your fathers day

we started the morning with the tradional fathers day brekky  bacon eggs muffins taost and coffee hubby stayed in bed "traditional' but i had made him 2 coffees earlier he gets up 6am rain or shine and has his smoko.

he "climbed"  back into bed at 8am so the boys and i could serve him his brekky. very relaxing morning

then i went to mums on my way i went to the cemetary first. i lit the karvounaki with the incence someone had already lit the kandilaki. and i was deep in my thoughts.

i went to mums who had been to church and recoverying from a cold. we went to the cemetary again this time for mum and i stayed for coffee and left.

this is my third fathers day without dad and it doesnt get easier.

these are the moments that i miss the most

mum is now approaching 90 . i marvel more and more as days go by. she is amazing. even though she has lived a very hard life and reared 6 children she still lives alone. shops goes to church and never complains and i mean never. dad and her never had a car or luxuries.

its moments like these that you will treasure im glad your day went well

hugs and kisses

annie
