SO what did you get your Old Man?
Or what do you plan to do with dear old Dad? ......... My Dad's off RV camping with my Mom, so I called him yeterday and wished him a good one. As he won't have any callphone coverage where he's going, as it's pretty remote.

My Dad passed away in 2002, since it's the 5th year I'm planning on taking some flowers to a local airfield and leaving them nearby (he loved planes)  |

My Dad is currently trekking around Europe so won't be here for Fathers Day! I agree with Jen, that is a cool thing to do GT. Looks like all three of us will be without our Dad's this Fathers Day.  |

So your saying the Old Spice Aftershave Set or the New Tie, isn't cutting it anymore   I got my Dad the beer of the month club last year, he enjoyed it. Although, he didn't get into EACH of the beers, so my brother-in-law's amd myself got a few extra brewski's on our last trip to Mom & Dad's house. ;D |

I have to ask my Mum's advice for anything relating to my Dad. He is such a difficult person. |

I hear ya', my Dad is into golf so I usually just get him something he can use on the course & I'm good to go. Does your dad have any hobbies, perhaps that's a good place to start.  |

Have to say that although I'm a Dad and my kids always make it a special day I'm not looking forward to it.
Always used to make it a special for my old chap - and the 1st Father's Day without him will be very tough! So me and GfJ will be spending time at our dad's grave, a decent floral wreath and share a few Marston's with the old fella!

Chin up Ro mate, thoughts are with you both Cheers GT! It'll be an odd day. Knowing you've already been through this, I appreciate the sentiments though and whilst never forgotten I'm sure events such as these become a little easier to handle in the course of time. |
