Happy Father's Day

Sophie: Did you have your showers today?
Dad: Yes.
Sophie: Who helped you to shower?
Dad: Those two. (Meaning my bros.)
Sophie: Do you smell nice?
Dad: Yes.
Sophie: Do you feel good?
Dad: Yes.

Sophie: Pa, do you know what day is it today?

Dad: It's Sunday. (Because he had just showered. On weekdays, Ma will sponge-bath him.)

Sophie: Do you know what date is it today?

Dad: No.

Sophie: It's June 20th. What can you remember about the date?
Dad: No, nothing.
Sophie: It's my birthday. Say 'happy birthday' to me.

Dad: Happy birthday.

Sophie: Do you know that today is also Father's Day?

Dad: No.

Sophie: It is Father's Day today. Happy Father's Day.

It may be just another day for you but you have come a long way since those early days.

In the quietness of your thoughts, I hope and pray that you know we all love you.
