Superdude, my husband, just finished his very last 2 week Annual Training for Nat'l Guard and is at Drill still today, finishing his last June weekend. He is retiring from NG 20 years. We've been counting down the months on this: (he didn't like my idea of shooting each month-guess I am more violent than him)
I feel a little sad today but it doesn't hurt, guess it might be more like melancholic nostalgia or some other technical psych term. I have had short term dad figures in my life and Father's Day sometimes seems a little lacking. Don't get me wrong, the good dad figures were worth the short terms, particularly my Grandpa who we lost too early and my stepdad who came late and we had for such a short time was a great dad. My dad is not too bad either, just not been an active engaged person to me that's all. I still love him for what he is, my father.
Looking at my life now, I am oh so thankful for the experiences, memories, wisdom and perspectives I have gained from my father figures. Most of all I am thankful to travel this path now with Superdude and see him be the father to Supergirl that makes me so proud.
Happy Father's Day!
