Twenty Father’s Days

by 22 Comments

Twenty years since I last wished you a Happy Father’s Day.

Twenty years went by in a flash.

The 48 years of your fatherhood were gone in the blink of an eye too.

As were you.

Miss you every day.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad.

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

    Things we wish we could say to our dads. I think they can hear them. Peace.

    Aw, gosh, this makes my eyes leak. I’m missing my dad, too, on this Father’s Day — it’s been 17 long years now. Hugs to you, Dawn.
