Its Fathers Day
When i think back over the years a few things come to mind:
Dad had us young, worked long days and hours to provide but gave his day off to us kids when the pub would have been many others first choice... i think the technical term maw used is a bore;
I knew from an early age thanks to him that we males shouldn't dance;
I'm still leading 17,776 to 17,775 frames at kitchen snooker;
Thank fuck for my uncle Danny or i'd have been a morton fan;
No matter which pals house i was in come monday morning, i could always rely on my paw to find me at 8am every time and make sure i made work.
my pawsyip
We disagreed on almost everything growing up except Celtic and music, but without even thinking of it, he taught me my most cherished lesson.... a fry up is only a fry up if bought from a butchers and never ever settle for anything but Heinz beans with it, never seen him more raging than the Tesco value beans day
In all honesty, one day you realise it's not what you buy your kids nor where you take them, it's the time you give them and the enjoyment they see you get from them.
They say we're a product of our upbringing and thankfully i've taken the best of both of my folks.
From him, how to be a good Dad cos thats what he was and from Mum, ffs you can still do all of that and have a fecking blast doing it.
I raise my Jack Daniels and Coke knowing his first thought would be 'on a Sunday night ffs?,
a good man, a great Dad, an even better Granda and the cheapest taxi in town.
Selfless, kind, humble, forgiving (yip), frank, honest, loving and at times frustratingly a man that lived and breathed his family. More importantly, he taught me how to be a good human being, a flawless husband to a wonderful yet fruity mother
a song for all the Dads out there, some are with us, some are gone but not forgotten, some are lost and some are hard to explain.
but no matter, we walk in their image
me, i just got real lucky
