Happy Father’s Day!

How many love songs

Never got sung

How many sweet thoughts

Died on the tip of the tounge

Victims of, the pandemic touch.

Too bad the only one the former guy will hug of his four children is Ivanka.

“I don’t even exist the rest of the year, Carmen, you think this makes up for it?”

Happy Father’s Day……………..now be more truthful, Stantis.

Yeah, I’m really gonna rip this cartoon to shreds today. Maybe after I walk the dog.

Did I mention we have a dog now? Good times.

I think this one gets an unqualified “Awww”…

Since my wife died recently, I really miss the hugs from her. These first’s are really hard. The first Mothers day, the first Fathers day…

I have been making up for missed hugs whenever I can, unfortunately, Dad’s been gone a long time.

She has parents?

The thing about being a dad is that we get so much, we share the joy and pains of our children as they grow into adults. Then if we have done our job well, we get the best reward of all. . . . . being GRAND PARENTS!!!! My job is to fill the grandkids with chocolate, buy the noisiest toys I can find. . . . and give them back. My son asked me one time: “Dad, why do you do this? Son, its simple, REVENGE!!”

Too bad the Trump admin lied and denied and spread covid everywhere.

Where’d she come from? Wasn’t she cancelled?

Happy Father’s Day my friends.

I’m of the carefully considered opinion that Covid gave us a gift that few are acknowledging or even recognizing. A chance to slow down, stop racing blindly, be honestly introspective, consider who we are, observe what we’ve done and are doing, and most of all, think.
