Reflections on Father’s Day
Father’s Day.
The time of year when men stereotypically receive a shirt, bad tie, and if you are lucky; maybe get taken out to dinner. Fathers, for the most part don’t want much, expect less and are satisfied with just a little recognition and a card. I do in fact remember asking my own father what he wanted for Father’s Day and he would simply reply “just some peace and quiet.”
Looking back I do not feel that this was sarcasm, or some poor attempt at a joke (ok, probably a poor attempt at a joke). I honestly feel on some level that is all he wanted. The rest was just fluff.
