This is the 19th Father's Day since my father passed away. It has been a rather melancholy day for me. I believe, for the majority of humans, we always miss our parents. There have been and still are family members in my life that I consider mother figures after my mom passed, but no family members that stepped into the father figure roll for me. This is not to say that I don't have some awesome older cousins and uncles that I am sure would step into that roll if I had asked, it just never happened. Thankfully, the SCA is full of parental as well as brother and sister types. As time goes on, I have lost some of those as well. That is part of getting older, mourning those that go before us. Today we are asked to celebrate the Fathers in our lives; I hope that those reading this had a splendid day and were able to be with family. K is visiting her father in Texas and Z is with his dad too.
My happy today is all the love we have for our family, friends and chosen family.
