Happy Father's Day, Daddy.
I miss you.
I've missed you all my life.
You ascended into heaven in 1998,
I am sending my love to you
by saying prayers for your soul.

Happy Father's Day
Happy Father's Day!
Please take a moment to pray
For all those fathers and grandfathers
Who have passed away..
I don't remember much about my father because my parents were divorced when I was young. I remember a tall
distinguished looking man wearing khaki work pants and a long sleeved
shirt. Daddy, a blue collar laborer, worked at the Blackwell Zink
Smelter before my parents divorced. Another think I remember about Daddy
was sitting on his lap on Sunday morning while he read to comics to me.
Happy Father Day!
Take a few minutes to say
Thank you to those fathers
And father figures
Who are still with us.
Grandpa
Newland, my mother's father, was my father figure. He was around almost
all of my growing up years. Grandpa worked at the Blackwell Zink
Smelter before he retired. I remember Grandpa sitting at the kitchen
table drinking coffee and rolling his own cigarettes. I also remember him showing us, my siblings and myself, how to fish and water ski.

Happy Father's Day

Happy
Father's Day from Las Vegas. This morning I shared a picture of my
father's gravestone on Facebook. Then I finished my Father's Day entry
in my writing.com blog. After that, I downloaded a graphic from my one
of my e-mail boxes to a photo album. I still have to upload the graphic
to another website, but I can't seem to figure
out how to accomplish this. I've uploaded stuff before to this
website, but it's been a while since I uploaded a graphic.
I
know uploading is simple, but I haven't upload a graphic in several
years. I'll call the help desk on Monday to see what they say. In the meantime, I'll work on something else. Since we're under an excessive heat warning
here in Las Vegas I'm going to stay indoors as much as possible. I may
have to get out of the house sometimes this week to see my doctor for a
prescription
refill. I have enough of the meds to last until Wednesday, so I'll call
for a appointment on Wednesday or Thursday. I would rather wait until
Thursday because the excessive heat worning is supposed to be over by Wednesday when we are expecting 115 degree temperatures.

A Summer Solstice Father's Day 2015
Jamal (Beauty), 17 Núr (Light), 172 BE - Sunday, June 21, 2015 about 3:01 pm Pacific Daylight Time
Summer at last
long hot watermelon days pass
into short warm nights.
Summer solstice
and Father's Day
coincide this year.
I eat watermelon chunks
and wonder
why I can't find a melon
sweet as the ones Grandpa grew
back in Oklahoma.

Sundry Sunday: Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!
Is the message I would send
Today to Daddy.
I am not sure I ever wished my father a Happy Father's Day. If I did I was so young that I do not remember saying the words to him. I do not remember saying "I love you, Daddy." either. My parents were divorced when I was quite young and I do not have that many memories of my father. I do not remember seeing him after the divorce.
I miss you Daddy
As I write this and I cry
I say a prayer.
My father died on April 14, 1998, but I did not hear about it until I did an Internet search for him and then it was too late to contact him. I regret that I did not get to see Daddy one last time before he died. I regret that I learned about his death through an Internet search. The only way I can wish him a Happy Father's Day is to open my prayer book and say a prayer for the departed, which I did before beginning this entry.
I miss you Daddy
I want to say I love you
Kiss you on the cheek.
What do I remember about my Father? I remember Daddy carrying me on his shoulders. I remember Daddy holding my hand when we walked down the street or up the front steps. I remember the scent of Old Spice. I remember random words and sometimes I hear his voice in my mind.

Countdown to Father’s Day
Jamál (Beauty), 8 Núr (Light), 168 BE – Sunday, June 12, 2011 about 12:10 PM Pacific Time
Father’s Day is the third Sunday in June, which is the nineteenth. That is seven days from today. My father passed away several years ago, so I cannot send him a Father’s Day card. I do not know the location of his grave, so I cannot visit the cemetery. My parents were divorced when I was a child and my memories of Dad are faded and limited.
The choices I have concerning Father’s Day and commemorating my father are limited. I can say a prayer for Day. I can write a poem. I can write a letter to him in my journal. I can write a letter to my Father and post it in one of my blogs. I can write a memory of Dad. I can find an old photo and post it to my blog. These are my choices for commemorating Father’s Day.
Dad died before I could say good-bye to him. I miss my Father, when I was growing up, I did not realize how much I missed him. Growing up, Grandpa Newland (my mother’s father) was my father figure. I have many memories of my Grandfather and I could write about those, but for some reason I want to write about my Father this year.
