Happy father's day everyone!

NeilDowney

Hey Guys, I just wanted to wish everyone a happy father's day. The greatest collection that I ever put together was a collection of two - my two sons. Eric is my oldest son. He will be 14 on July 24th. Brian is my youngest and he will be 12 on August 4th. They are both the reason that I get up in the morning and pray every night. I have had a relaxing day today topped off with a great dinner. Although I still have to go to work tonight (I work part-time at Home Depot), my wife is bringing my two boys to visit me later. Here's hoping that all fathers out there realize that life is made up of those special moments with their children. The collections, the cars, the house and the job don't matter. Just the kids that fill our lives with hope and happiness. Neil (father of two)

having lost my father in september of '02, this holiday has taken on a bittersweet significance with me. if your pops is still around, tell him how much you appreciate everything he has done.

Nice sentiments and perspective. Neil - my two are spaced like yours - just a year older. Goodrid - lost my dad in 02 also. All else aside, we should be grateful for what we have received and what we can potentially give as sons and fathers.
