Father’s Day
After celebrating my birthday for the past three weekends, it felt selfish not to set aside a single weekend for Josh. I am not a man, and I am not in his head, but it seems like there are many fewer complicated feelings about Father’s Day than there are about Mother’s Day, which is lovely if it’s true. I’d like him to have an uncomplicated, relaxing day of appreciation because I really appreciate Josh and told him so in a card.
We are a card family. Cards are the highest form of gift you can give, and they must be homemade. The front is a picture — either a visual depiction of an inside joke or a heartfelt reminder of something important to the receiver — and the inside is a long message stating in no uncertain terms how much you mean to the other person.
I keep all of mine.
And sometimes re-read them when I need them.
That’s what we’re doing today.

Dh & I don’t exchange Mother’s & Father’s Day gifts, but we do exchange cards, and I have saved every one of them too. Enjoy your day!
I’m not sure about fewer complicated emotions. My DH doesn’t like Father’s Day any more than I do Mother’s Day. He just doesn’t talk/blog about it! lol
I do love your emphasis on personalised cards, and a heartfelt message though.
That’s sweet. My daughter usually makes cards for me. I have a nice collection. I love that she tells me everything she appreciates about me in those cards.
