Feeling Sad for DH
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.
