We all have stories about men who make a difference in our lives. They do not have to be blood relatives or even our own Fathers. They could be an uncle, step-father, brother, big-brother, teacher, mentor, clergyman, coach, policeman, rabbi, scout leader, priest, neighbor, letter carrier, news reporter, librarian, railroad conductor, bus river, store manager, boss, or any male who is an outstanding positive leader. Today is recognized in most of the western world as the day when we honor these fine upstanding men. This day is set aside to publicly show them we care about them and to thank them for the time they have invested in all of us.
Our President has made a proclamation for today, which is touching and meaningful. Here is the link in case you want to get some ideas for any toast you might want to make today.
This weekend we also celebrate National Cherry Tart Day, National Picnic Day, and National Dry Martini Day.
It’s the last days of spring and we are now headed full-swing into summer. In case you will be taking advantage of today to shop for Dad, here is another link for some gift ideas.
The main thing is to tell these wonderful people how they impact your life. Get them a card, or send them flowers, bake them a cake or take them to dinner. Just let them know how much you admire them.
