Although I send my fondest wishes for a Happy Father’s Day to all of you Dads out there, this year is very tough. My email box overflowed with gift ideas and special tributes to Fathers. Every one of them made my throat tighten and my eyes moisten.

As a result this year feels like the first year.
We miss our Dads all the time but today is more poignant than others.

My father-in-law, Bill Fanning (right), departed just a month before his 85th birthday.
They certainly didn’t die young but still it feels as if they died way too soon.
Happy Father’s Day, Dads!
