Over the last few days have noticed the signs increasing - posters, cards are coming out and I'm sure the adverts will start soon too - fathers day is on its way. Always brings a sadness, reminds me how much I miss my dad, how much I wish he was here, to explore and share stories with. Its hard isnt it - like all these 'occasions' there's nothing wrong with advertising fathers day and there'll be plenty of people getting a card for their dad and I hope it does encourage people to celebrate how great their dads may be, but always a sad reminder for those who have lost them
This year, I'm thinking on something we can do to remember/send a message to dad. Will take a flower to his stone as usual, would like to do something else too. We've had some great times at the seaside, so thinking I might suggest to my sister we could go to the beach with the little ones, write messages on pebbles and throw them into the sea this year. xx
