Father's day is a tricky time this year for my hubby as it's the first one without his Dad around. I know its going to be a hard time for him and he won't feel like celebrating. The first fathers day without your Dad around is certainly a day filled with a mixture of emotions and I remember the feeling well. Even so I still want Blake to give him a card and some gifts.
This year fathers day is Sunday 16th of June so you still have some time to find something to suit your Dad and hopefully these ideas will help.
