If I haven't said it here before, my DH is the BEST! Over the past 10 years of marriage, we have grown to love each other more than the day we were married. He is my rock and is often too concerned about taking care of me to share emotion of his own.
Today, I am saddened for him. He lost his father to cancer 11 years ago, and I wanted so badly for him to be able to enjoy THIS Father's Day.
My dad and step-mom have been traveling and, yesterday, they were close enough to stop in and stay the night with us (we live about 4 hours apart). We enjoyed their brief visit. When they left, my DH wished my dad a "Happy Father's Day." They have a good relationship, so it was not usual for him to do this. It just made me so sad for him.
So, with no father of his own and no children of his own, my DH is all alone (except for me) on this day that millions of men throughout the world are celebrating. As with Mother's Day, we opted not to attend church today. It's just too emotionally exhausting.
He's not really interesting in doing much today (besides it's TOO hot!). So, we're enjoying the day just being in the same room with each other watching movies.
Here's hoping DH will have a big reason(s) to celebrate next Father's Day.

I feel bad for my DH too. He does still have his father and that is a lucky and good thing--as I am realizing ever more each day. It is HOT here too! We skipped church and went swimming at the lake....connecting with nature was our 'spiritual' thing to do. I hope your next treatment brings you a well deserved and hard fought for BFP. Hang in there!

I understand your feelings. DF's Dad died many years ago too and he is still without children of his own. I am glad your DH has a good relationship with your Dad and that he has you. I pray that next Father's Day has a brand new meaning for him. {{{HUG}}}

I am with you - NEXT Father's Day is going to be great! It is hard - the holidays and other big days all seem to be reminders of what we don't have (YET!!!!). I am thinking of you! Big hugs.

It's so wonderful to see how much you love your DH!!! I just know next Fathers Day is going to be THE one!! I found the most amazing first fathers day card while I was picking my card out for my Dad so I bought it for Allan for next year. :) We will get there my dear friend, I promise!!!

I think it's so wonderful that you are there to love and support your DH. I hope next Father's Day brings all of our DH's the most magical gift of all!
