Guest commentary from one of the bfjarrell offspring:
Slipping in on the sly to post some words of love for my dear ol' dad... I've thought about you many times today, Dad - wondering if you were getting proper attention from all of us. These "fathers' day" and "mothers' day" Hallmark holidays are odd ducks... on the one hand it's silly to have a holiday that seems to have been custom-made for selling cards and brunches and flowers, but on the other it's a little bit sad that it's that very thing that spurs us to reach out and exercise this connection that has existed from the moment we (us kids, anyway) were born.
We get so caught up in the everydayness of our lives that we have to be reminded that we should be talking to the people we love. I mean, we know we have this connection, right...?
I'm thinking I've let the connection gather too much dust. Why on earth should we be content to have a classic car that seldom leaves the garage...? Open the doors, I say - put the pedal to the metal and take that baby out for a spin! So happy fathers' day, my father. I just stopped by to tell you that I love you and I'm glad today and every day that you are my dad. I'll talk to you again soon...
