Father's Day is an unnecessary excuse to celebrate

With the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer hanging over his full head of beautiful white hair ... Pa's mindset is to spend time with family as much as his energy permits, and so far he has been doing a great job of it.  With all the coming & going of late ... he's had a couple of tougher days, but for the most part- he has been social & gracious.
TODAY- being Father's Day ... we took our clues from him as far as how much to do or not to do, and found that it was a quiet but respectful way to honor him.  What do you give a man who's needs are met on a daily basis?  What do you say to someone you tell & show your appreciation for on a regularly?  How do you approach a Father's Day ... knowing that a year from now, you will celebrate only the spirit of the man who sits before you now?  Well- if you ask him, he'd say he doesn't need or want a thing ... but in our hearts, we know that he will surely accept an extra hug for the day, and not mind at all if we tell him how much we love & respect him.  And we will do just that today. (and tomorrow, & as many days as we still have with him)  We celebrate every day with him.  We celebrate that he smiled, or finished another novel, or remembered to shave!!  In other words .....  Every day is reason to celebrate.   
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY PaPa !
