Father's Day

It still feels like a little punch in the gut when I see a display for Father's Day cards. Not a hit that takes my breath away. More like a split second that is instantaneously filled with "Oh, did I get one yet?" and "Oh. Dad's gone." I know a lot of people go through this. It helps to know that. I'm very blessed to have had my dad around for as long as I did. I have regrets. They are 99% about not having gotten to know him better. I've thought about writing a list of what I would ask him if I could have him back, but I don't think I could stand the making of the list.
