My dad and I reside in the same house right now, so it's impossible to avoid the holiday. I think I'll just look for a simple, matter-of-fact card for my dad, and something for a gift he'd enjoy, and leave it at that. Does Hallmark make a card for your hard-to-live-with-have-bad-history-with-emotionally-distant-father?
Actually, since I've moved home, both my parents have been on their best behavior. Do parents grow up as their kids grow up?
As for my former T, I think at this point in our psuedo-relationship, a card would overdo it. I do plan to write him a long e-mail this summer and mention that I hope he had a happy father's day. I think he'll get my drift. He was a stand-in for my dad, and that is becoming more and more apparent to me now. What a good job he did. It must have been hard from his point of view.
