Today some of us will hope for phone calls or even visits from our kids, some will go back home to see the folks, others will visit a cemetary - all with a simple message:
Thanks, Dad.

This is not a day to celebrate successful studding, but to honor those who learned - without an instruction manual - how to be Dads... over a period of many years It's mostly only after we become dads ourselves that we come to fully appreciate our own fathers - and to realize how much of ourselves has been chipped from them.

You said it, Bud! 
I've been very close to my parents my entire life. They met in Weisbaden (sp?), Germany and married in 1963. I was the last of three kids (and the only girl). My grandparents were together for 61 years.

I guess I was selfish, took my son to Banff yesterday (he is 18) so he could have his first legal beers. We had a hoot, hit four bars before praying at the porcelain altar. Checked in with grandpa this morning, and wished him the best. It was the best of male bonding experiences.
