Today is the day that Hallmark Cards thinks we ought to do what we ought to do all the time:  tell the good men who raised us that we appreciate it.

Yesterday, we gave Irish Woman’s Hoosier Dad a card from the kids and made sure he knew how important he was to us.  He and Hoosier Mom ‘adopted’ Irish Woman when she came home with one of their daughters and needed a little parenting and acceptance.  She kept coming back, and now she’s counted among the kids.

Hoosier Dad is one of the good ones, and I’m beginning to believe he’s also among the majority of good men who recognize their responsibilities and don’t find a way to get away from them.

So if you’re one of those dads, good on ya.  Enjoy your day and the new tie.
