Handy Don 13,717 #2 Posted June 15 Indeed, a great many of us get to walk in the footsteps of great fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers and even men who were strong father figures. Lucky us. I count myself hugely blessed to have been entrusted with children. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 41,422 #4 Posted June 15 We celebrated Fathers Day yesterday in combination with my Youngest Grandsons graduation from Penn State. My gift put me in the fishing mood. So, on this rainy Fathers Day, I made up another half dozen striper tube lures. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 3,047 #5 Posted June 15 My boy took me fishing yesterday. He's 12, but it's his boat, he drove (the boat, I drove to and from the lake), and he did all the catching. The boat in question is a canoe my grandfather bought in the 70s when they lived on the lake in Oconomowoc Wisconsin right after he graduated from seminary. He never learned to swim, and was afraid of the water most of his life, but he had three young boys, and in that time and place to have boys also meant you needed a boat, so he bought an aluminum canoe. Then about 10 years ago he gave it to me because "you are the only one that uses it anymore, and getting it registered is too complicated" (because PA genuinely makes it hard to register a boat that is in someone else's name). Then last year after I bought my bigger bass boat I gave it to my boy. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 14,301 #6 Posted June 15 3 hours ago, Handy Don said: I count myself hugely blessed to have been entrusted with children. Complete agreement. I will add one remark however: My father, when speaking of me always said "I wouldn't take a million dollars for him, nor give a nickel for another one just like him"... Happy Father's day to all us dads out there, in whatever capacity you do the father thing! 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He managed to perfectly express how I feel about my kids without ever meeting any of us. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 59,338 #8 Posted June 15 I am a cat daddy to three insane cats. This morning the little boy cat coughed up a hairball, does that count as a Father's Day gift? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
