Father's Day is a relatively modern holiday and an occasion to mark and celebrate the contributions that fathers/father figures have made in our lives.
My Dad (Lester Allicks) passed away in early June 2006, a week or two before Father’s Day. Although I had already purchased his card and gift, I was not able to share them with him. Here’s a little excerpt from the card I bought for my Dad that I feel is so fitting:
“…One certain man, one caring man, gave me the best he had-a legacy of lasting love. The gift of one great Dad!” Happy Heavenly Father's Day Dad!!
So, if you have the opportunity to celebrate the 'dad' in your life, be SURE to do so.
Happy Father's Day to all :-)
