Father's Day to me is just as special asMother's Day. Without either one, we would not behere.

Each parent has something to give and sometimes one parent ends up playing both roles and Ihappen to be one of those parents.

I completely raised my son by myself, even though I wantedhim to have a father figure in his life. There were somethings that were hard to share and talk about, especially me beingthe opposite sex.

I can remember how difficult it wasto answer some of the questions of the maleanatomy, which I wished his dad could haveexplained. Laughs*

I can remember my son, at the age of four at the time, asked me,"Mom can we call my wee wee something else?" I took a deep breathand responded, "Ummm, just call him your buddy. He replied,"Buddy?" I said yeah well he hangs around with you all the time.Shoot, at the time I figured that was better then using the realname for a four year old or was it? All I know is that I did thebest I could raising him.

Last year I had to have a major surgery and I have always beenindependent. It hurt my pride that Ihad to rely on others for help. I can remember myson saying, " Mom you took care of me for 21 years, now it's myturn."

It touched me to here him say that; everything I had done for himhe had acknowledged.

Children don't forget things when they are growing up, especiallythose who have provided for them. Today he is twenty-two years oldand going to college.

father'sday
My father played a very important role in my life andwhen I look back on my childhood, hewas my total inspiration. Most of everything I knowtoday, he has taught me or gave me the strength and encouragementwhile walking on those stepping stones in life.

He reminds me to never give up on my dreams because one day, theycould be my own reality. He has taught me that laughter, kindnessand love are more valuable than gold and that when you give you getback ten fold.

Happy Father's Day to those who are there to support and love theirchildren. Happy Father's Day to all the mothers outthere who have to play afather's role and to all the fathers who have to play a mother'srole. Raising children has never beeneasy but it takes a special parent to make a difference in achild's life.

This poem is dedicated to my father:

Dad, I think about all the things in my life which you have givento me.

You taught me how to fix things that are brokenand how to live responsibly.

You even taught me how to be a mechanic by checking the motor oilin my car.

You taught me that money doesnt growon trees and how to save coins in ajar.

You taught me how to draw animals from numbers and you let me becreative.

You taught me to respect my elders and told folklores of manynatives.

You taught me to always be honest and to help others who are inneed.

You taught me how to view life andhow crooked people can be.

You taught me how to catch a fish and how to bait my ownhook.

You taught me all your kitchen secrets including how tocook...

You taught me that every day I will always learn somethingnew.

You taught me that if I needed anything I could always count onyou...

You taught me to think positive andto always look ahead.

You taught me to how to use all those handy tools in yourshed.

You taught me how to live life to its fullest and to alwayssmile.

You taught me that if it is meant to be then fate would alwaysallow.

You taught me how to appreciate even the little things.

You taught me to be me and encouraged me to spread my wings.

Dad, you have taught me so many wonderfulthings

And you have inspired me in so manyways.... to live, love and laugh everyday. You areeverything that I am today and I just wanted to say...

Thanks for loving me and Happy Father'sDay!!!!
