Strider Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Well it's interesting. Father's day came and went and my son didn't even notice which I guess is not a big deal because he is only 12, but I thought for sure at some point during the day he might mention but didn't. Maybe it's because he is young, maybe I'm not the dad I thought I was. It's odd because when I was a kid I really wanted to impress my dad, and I guess kids today think differently. It's so fucked up, the older I get, the more I'm becoming a groovy disbeliever. Thought for sure in my 20's and 30's I knew the answers to the world and now I'm just sort of stuck in a slipstream watching the world and people around me not knowing anything. That is kind of odd. Usually you can count on school reminding kids of certain holidays. When I was a kid, making handmade Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, and Thanksgiving Day cards always seemed to be a part of schoolwork, so we never forgot. I guess schools...and kids...are different today. Still, I would have thought your wife would have reminded your son about Father's Day.

jimmie ray Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 ^ Sad to hear, and I relate to your thoughts on this, Strider. But schools are not responsible for teaching kids to be thoughtful of their parents. It sounds like Charles provides well for his family, and treats them to hobbies and excursions that many of us never had. Yet, a homemade card or simple offer to do something nice, would be priceless in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the good news he said to me just before he fell asleep and I quote, "hey dad, happy father's day", so I don't feel like such a loser after all.

Charles J. White Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 It still kinda bothered me that he said it just as he was falling asleep in what I perceived was in passing. Anyways, I think the biggest fear any dad/husband has in life is 'Am I good enough for them or how can I be better' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles J. White Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Because of what happened on the 7/7 attacks, I'm shocked that England didn't question those at the Finsbury Mosque in London and clear out the trash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles J. White Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 human rights springs to mind... I know, but that Finsbury Park Mosque in London is unlike any other, it really is a dangerous place - there is that guy with the hook for a hand who is always yelling in a megaphone, calling for the end of England. I find the whole idea of it upsetting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the whole idea of it upsetting I think you will find old Captain Hook is languishing in a US jail. Took us years to get rid of the ugly motherfucker but he kept signing on. And his human rights was infringed when he didn't get his housing benefit raised as he moved to a 6 bedroom house in London. Thankfully, we saw sense and exported him to the US, where if he isn't doing time, he wil be relaxing on a veranda somewhere stroking his beard and watching the test series. Anyway if he needs a job he can be employed on a "Hook a Duck" stand at your local state fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apantherfrommd Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Charles. You're right. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense as we can grasp. It's hard to be strong when others can't feel the severity of your pain. It be my hope that you can draw some strength from those around you and friends that you have here, as you endure this emptiness in this, your time of mourning. I'm so very for your loss. My deepest sympathy to you, my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
