Here we are again, on the brink of July 4 -- usually a family-and-friends holiday. A parade and barbecue holiday. In many families, it's a holiday where the men do the cooking on an outdoor grill. It's the same for Father's Day, which was just last month.
Here we are again, on the brink of July 4 -- usually a family-and-friends holiday. A parade and barbecue holiday.
But both the Fourth of July barbecue and the recent Father's Day barbecue are different now for many of us. They've changed because many fathers, husbands, partners, grown sons and brothers have died. But then it occurred to me, my two sons are fathers. Three nephews are fathers. My granddaughters' husbands are fathers. I shall celebrate them! All live far away, so no family barbecue, but I can write about them. They are all great fathers. Because of them, I have wonderful grandchildren, great grandchildren and grand nieces and nephews.
