Bah humbug!

I almost managed to skip Father's Day this year. Almost.

I wasn't angst-ridden about it; I wasn't ducking it determinedly; I was just ignoring it.

But I called the boys to me this morning and told them that today was Father's Day. Yayyy! That surprised me. Rock immediately got some construction paper and cut out and decorated a heart for Nick. HardPlace asked for the book where we write letters to Dad.

No fanfare. No special memorial. No tears. No emotional memory-fest.

Just a nod to the man none of us will ever forget.

Kids are amazing and awesome in their clear-eyed assessment of situations and reactions.

Very cool.
