Ha...Nina...you are so nice...thanks for reminding me of this precious day!
Happy Father's Day.
I'm going to do something good for my father, though it's not a big bear hug. 
Thanks.

Nice post, Nina.
In Spain, as in the Roman Catholic tradition, Father's Day (el d?a del padre) is celebrated on Saint Joseph's Day (19th March).
Happy Father's Day to all dads! |

Hi Rosa,
I agree, it doesn't have to be a big bear hug. He doesn't need anything from us actually. But while we can, we should always try our best to cherish them, not only on father's day, but every day! Why, they are one of the two reasons we are here. Fathers are amazing beings, they are.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conchita,
Why the Saint Joseph's Day? I do think it's better that way, fixing the date I mean. As much as I do not want to admit it, I am lousy around dates and anniversaries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where are all fathers on this forum? Well, I did hear that men are not very articulate when it comes to sharing their feelings. But I also heard that it was a myth.

| Thank you, Nina, for the information. In Russia this day doesn’t exist at all. But anyway I don’t think we need any special day to say a couple of warm words to our dads. |

Really Pamela? I thought the whole world celebrates father's day every year on the third Sunday of June.
BTW, do you think men like socks as a present? Or do you think it'll make a good present? (Honest question)

Hi Nina,
In Russia the third Sunday of June is a professional holiday of doctors. Anyway, I've congratulated my father as he is a surgeon 
|
What a wonderful coincidence! He should be having a jolly good time then. Though I bet it is not very likely, surgeons are very busy, aren't they?

My honest answer: why not, Nina. All the presents are good, especially if they are made with all your heart. The main thing is who gives a present but not the gift itself, if you ask me.  |
WOW. You ARE very nice. I won't accept unless it's a diamond ring, or a Porsche. 
By the way, my uncle told me that a pair of socks would be a good present for men.I thought he was pulling my leg. If it is true, well,men are very easy to please.

I talked to my dad and one grandpa (mom's dad). The other grandpa was out of town and he travels sans (without) a cell phone.
