I have never celebrated it, but Mel has "for Alex". For me it has always been a "Hallmark Cards inc" festival.

Since I married Mel she induced me to send cards etc om Mothering Sunday (UK celebrates the religious event, not the card festival), and for reaosns I have never understood my mother presents each of us with a mothers' day and a fathers' day card. There is always a cash gift inside. We accept it, but have never understood either the card or the gift.

Today, after a very weird day, I took the woman back to her home. We had invited her to see Alex's school since she is having surgery ths summer on her spone and wil proabbly not survive it (15% mortality rate and she is 83). We decided she probably ought to allow her this. We do not get on, she and I.

When I got home I discovered that she has asked Alex to give me her fathers' day card when I got back. It had a random card in it. She has excellent taste - she likes anything! and the words "I am proud of you".

But for what? And why can't the bitch TELL ME HERSELF?

I now have to phone her to say "Why, thank you!" And I can't without either yelling down the phone or crying my heart out. This is the woman who asked if I masturbated when I was 17 or so, and told me soon after that she was "glad I was going out with girls because your father and I thought you might be going to be a homosexual"

I am beginning to find that I hate her.

smith has a far better idea of fathers' day than I do.
