For my husband, my children made him a present – a turtle and then painted it. (out of clay) He loved it, he collects turtles. I gave him a book (out of print) that he’s been wanting, I finally found a copy of it…I searched forever! I made him his favorite dinner (orzo, spinach and shrimp) and my daughter made a pie. He recently got a big item, on his own, it was agreed that it was his early Father’s Day Present – so wedid things on a smaller scale.
For my dad, we had a beer and brat – in honor of him. I left him a note under his urn. We talked about him, acknowledged him and admitted that life isn’t the same without him. We also thanked him for being a wonderful man and sharing so many great moments with us. We all miss him, but are so grateful for the time we did have with him.
