I AM SURE ON THIS SPECIAL FATHER'S DAY THAT MANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PAY TRIBUTE TO YOUR DAD'S.
BE IT YOUR FATHER'S ARE STILL WITH US OR WITH US IN Spirit, THE POST IS FOR YOU TO WISH YOUR DAD'S A HAPPY FATHER'S DAY AND PERHAPS SHARE SOME FOND MEMORIES.
WRITTEN BEFORE THE ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND MATCH, CLAN GORDON HAS GRACED US WITH A FEW WORDS AND SOME SPECIAL MEMORIES OF HIS OWN.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY BY CLAN GORDON
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE SUPER DAD'S OUT THERE.
NOW THEN, I WASN'T REAL CLOSE TO MY FATHER. I THOUGHT HE WAS A DICK, BUT THE ROLE MODEL IN MY LIFE WAS MY GRAMPS. HE WAS ALWAYS UP TO NO GOOD AND PLAYED TRICKS ON MY GRANDMOTHER FREQUENTLY. AT THE BEACH HE WOULD ALWAYS TRY TO THROW MY GRANDMOTHER IN THE SEA, BUT HER ASS WAS HUGE AND HE STRUGGLED IMMENSELY. WITH THAT SAID, THEY WERE ROMANTIC AND VERY MUCH IN LOVE.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE EVER FATHER'S DAY CARDS WAS FROM MY LOVELY WIFE MYRA. IT WAS AN E-CARD SHE SENT LAST YEAR, AND SHE GOT IT SPOT ON. ALTHOUGH THE STRETCHMARKS ON HER STOMACH LOOK LIKE THE LONDON TUBE STATION MAP, I LOVE HER WITH ALL MY HEART AND MORE.
NOW TO THE SERIOUS PART.
BEING A DAD IS MORE THAN JUST BEING REFERRED TO AS DAD.
TO BE HONOURED WITH THE TITLE ''DAD'' IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE EARNED. ANYONE CAN BE A DAD NAMED ON PAPER. BUT THERE'S MUCH MORE TO IT THAN A SIGNATURE ON A BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
AS A FAMILY WITH PLENTY OF DAD'S IN IT, EACH AND EVERYONE OF OUR KIDS CAN TELL US AND DISCUSS WITH US, ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING. IF THEY DIDN'T, HOW CAN WE SUPPORT OUR KIDS, RIGHT??
NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, WE STAND TOGETHER AS A FAMILY, AS A WHOLE, AND ALWAYS. BE IT THROUGH THE SUNSHINE OR THE STORM.
IN SPIRIT I WILL REMEMBER MY GRANDFATHER. OTHERS FATHER'S WITHIN OUR FAMILY IN SPIRIT ARE:
KEN, RAYMOND, JIMMY, THOMAS (TOMMY), AND CHOPPER.
GENTLEMAN A GLASS OR TWO WILL BE RAISED IN YOUR MEMORY.
FINALLY TO ALL THE DAD'S OUT THERE, HAVE A GOOD ONE AND HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO YOU ALL.
