First Father's Day....EVER!
When I was seven years old, my father passed away. Father's Day became just another kick in the jaw that I was without.
At school, they would give me old mothers day crafts and stick me in a corner to do them, while the rest of the class got instructions on how to do the new fathers day craft. As I grew older, I would go to the mall with my friends to help them shop for their fathers. Never having to do it myself.
Now it's Joey's first fathers day. And I don't even know what to do. I don't know what to get him. I don't know how to go about any of it. It's all so foreign. He keeps telling me I don't have to get him anything. He can see I'm struggling. But I want to. I have never celebrated fathers day, ever, and I want to let him know that he is important in Marlows life. I just don't know how. It's furusterating.
