I like the idea that people are saying it's okay. That makes me some kind of happy. Thanks, Pax. I like the idea that people are saying it’s okay. That makes me some kind of happy.

Other's claim it is just wish fulfillment dreaming ... whatever the case, I know how it feels. I am lucky enough to still have my dad, but I dream of other relatives and friends that have shuffled off this mortal coil. I am sure if your dad were around, he'd be very proud of you and your brood! Frank,

Isn't it funny how those memories still stay. I feel the same as you that my guys didn't get to know my dad. I was lucky that my grandparents lived a long time. My dad's dad, Pop, was born in 1888, so he was already old when I was born in 1959. He lived until I was a teenager and I always felt lucky to know him. Today's a happy day. Thanks for the good wishes. Tami, your dad and mine were gone at the same time. Isn’t it funny how those memories still stay. I feel the same as you that my guys didn’t get to know my dad.

My dad's been gone since 1987. In my dreams, like yours, he's just there, like he should be, like he always was. I think the hardest part for me is that he never knew my kids or sadder yet that my kids never knew him. I think of Howard on this day too. But today, instead of being sad I'm going to celebrate all the father's that went before and all the great ones that are here with us still. So to you, David and all the dad's out there HAPPY FATHER'S day. Frank – Father’s day is always emotional. My dad’s been gone since 1987.

He was only 10 years older than me. You're having a lucky day today. The good news is that even when people are gone the memories linger. I like that. My dad was one of those guys from the Greatest Generation. I still like to think about that and am finding myself more like him as I age. JT, isn’t it the truth about Tim Russert?
