I realise that some on here Fathers may have passed away, but it's also nice to commemorate too.

I'm so proud of my kids today. They've spent a good few hours doing some gardening (the older ones wielding saccateurs (sp) and the mower, while the little ones did the weeding).

All to give their dad a break from taming the jungle now that there's been at least 2 days without rain. I've got my father, and my husband's Uncle (identical twin of my husband's late father...my 3 year olds think they're the same person though) over so we're spoiling them too.

Sounds lovely Suze. I have some very happy memories of Father's day with my dad, have been to the cemetery to put a fuchsia plant, (his favourite,) on his grave. Hope all of those who are dads and/or are with their dads today are having a lovely day and those of you who are missing their dads enjoy their memories of time together.

The men in the house just flicked over to BBC1 for the tennis and saw David Nalbandian going kamikaze on a line judge. Kicked him full on the shins 

Supes, by strange coincidence my granddaughter, whose dad died 3 years ago on Father's Day, also bought a Fuchsia plant for his grave today.  

Never knew my dad.

But RIP Douglas.

Sadly my dad is no longer here either,been to his grave today and brought him 2 rose bushes ,he loved roses,got lovely pots that look really nice with his headstone and a single rose ....All our sons and 2 grandsons came to see Mr L,2 bottles of single malt whiskey among other lovely gifts  were gratefully received ,he's made a Rusty nail with some of it and the Drambuie I bought him,happy chappie 

Ah Lee, I remember  It's my husband's 2nd Father's Day without his dad (he died on Dec 30th 2010) and I noticed him and his Uncle (his dad's identical twin) having a moment earlier. They're watching footie together (with my dad and brothers) and getting through some cognac. It's a good thing his wife is driving later!

I sent a card and phoned mine! Given that he and my stepmum live 400+ miles away i don't get to see him too often...

Coldy I am sure it will mean the world to your dad that you sent him a card.

Yes Lee, he seemed pleased when i spoke to him earlier.

Suze how are you and all your babies,born and unborn ...For Mr Bean,it's hard Suze,really really hard,I understand how he must feel today.

Coldy I am sure it will mean the world to your dad that you sent him a card.
