I got my real dad a hanging flower basket LOL. I didn't know what else to get him and his house has no flowers, so I figured I would get a little color around his house :) I gave it to him today, because I didn't want it to die (I'm notorious for killing things).
I also asked my mom if she was getting ME anything for father's day, because I am the mom AND dad lol. She laughed at me and told me she would take me to the pancake breakfast lol.
I'm not sure what to get my stepdad either. I might just get him a card, because hes not really into anything after his 2 strokes and heart attack. Plus he has RA, so can't do alot anymore.
I'm sorry S.H. I can only imagine how hard that is. My grandpa died in December and I was super close to him. Some of my family is going to the cemetary tomorrow, but I am not ready yet, since we buried him in April. It's just to hard still.
Dads are getting a lot of nice things! And all I got mine was a dang flower basket lol
My Dad passed away 11 years ago.
I visited the cemetery today and brought him a huge bouquet of flowers.
He is at the National Cemetery of the Pacific. Here in Honolulu.
For which, he has always been proud, that he would be there, after he passed.
I miss him.
They broke the mold, after they made him.
S.H.
Thanks for your post. We have had a lot going on lately and I didn't really think about this being my husband's first Father's day without his dad.
His dad died last month and is in the military cemetery in Phoenix.
My kids and I went to visit him and my Mom from Thursday through today and I gave him a card from me and a card from my boys. My Dad retired in March, my parents' 40th Anniversary was in April, and my Dad's Birthday was in May, so he told me he just wanted to spend time with me and the boys. He and I took my oldest to the Zoo on Friday. We had a wonderful visit!
My husband is just getting a card because I just bought him a kayak for his B-day this month!
Hubby and I are training for a marathon, so we got him a Garmin GPS watch with a heart rate monitor. My brother and I and my kids are taking Papa to breakfast in the morning. Then I am getting a sitter and taking my hubby to see "Bridesmaids".
lets see i got my husband (via told by my husband) headlights for the car and and an auxillary kit for the car. he is in charge of getting his dad something and i will get my dad and grandpa a card.
I got my dad a Kindle.
I got my two father-in-laws each a 12-piece kit for grilling. Very nice and on sale. For my hubby, I just had the kids make him cards. I was planning on a picture of the kids in a frame but didn't get it on time. I don't have a dad but I have an amazing husband and two father-in-laws... =D
I got my husband a gift certificate to Cabela's and am surprising him with a weekend trip up to the Michigan store. I got my stepdad a gift certificate to Subway. Sounds cheap but he loves Subway and would be very upset if we spent money on a gift for him. We are all spending the day together on Father's Day and that will mean the most to him.
I got my husband an Invicta watch that he has been wanting. He's going to be very excited. My father-in-law and dad are getting books because they're both big readers, and my ex-step dad is getting audio books because he is blind, but used to love to read. I'm excited about Father's Day because we're just hanging out at the house tomorrow, relaxing, and then tomorrow night the whole extended family is getting together for dinner. We all get along great, so it's sure to be a fun evening!
My dad made us PROMISE we wouldn't get him presents this year lmao. So I'm making him a steak dinner. and we are going to go out and do something he wants to do. He told me but I can't for the life of me remember what it is right now.
I celebrated Father's Day with my dad last week since we were visiting he and my mom out east. I got him jean shorts (I know, ICK- but that's what he asked for!) and a picture frame from my boys that says "I love Papa". I took my sons out the other day and we picked out a new "alligator" shirt for my husband. He likes LaCoste and the boys love alligators!:)
Mom and I combined forces and got the two men in the family an old fashioned popcorn popper on wheels - a red one!
I can't wait to see their reaction!

I got my dad a webcam so we can Skype. He lives in a different state from me and has cancer. He doesn't like to email or talk on the phone and no longer travels, so I rarely get to talk to him. My kids and I were there last week so my son set up the webcam and skype account for him. Now we can visit without having to drive 14 hours.
I gave mine George Bush's book (Decision Points) on c.d., 6 disc set.
