116. Happy Father's Day

10:24 a.m. & Sunday, Sept. 03, 2006


It's Father's Day today.
Every other year we've had a celebration. Staying inside the house with the fireplace on, watching some kind of movie, and eagerly awaiting the special meal mum was preparing.

Dad would get up early because he couldn't sleep and was excited.
- We'd always have an array of presents for him to open. Last year the major one was one of those huge dummies that you'd punch.
I was worried that he wouldn't like it..

Mum would always fall asleep after lunch on the couch, so dad and I would sneak away to play PS2 games.
We liked it that way.
Mother would barge in when she woke up, telling us off for playing and not doing the dishes. We'd still have fun, though.

But those are old memories now.
And this is my new one..

Happy Father's Day daddy.
