Yesterday was Father's Day. I didn't blog about it; but I did remember it ...
Only quietly in the background as both of my fathers, my biological father and step father are passed these long years and it's really not a celebration anymore more a time for wistful rememberances of those days gone by.
It was a hard thing to let them go so I have relegated them to those memories and I have small conversations periodically because it is my understanding and belief that they can hear and understand me from that other dimension to which I cannot go.
So I chose to spend the day celebrating my mother and the anniversary of her birth which occurs concurrently and toward that end I spent time sketching, blogging, and entertaining various silly notions during our visit of a few hours early in the day.
Call me old fashioned but this growing up and responsibility mess isn't as fun as that irresponsible young clod thing I used to have going on what seems like centuries ago.
