Happy Father’s Day
Father’s Day, celebrated on the third Sunday of June every year in the U.K and the U.S and presumably the rest of the world too. It is an occasion Father’s secretly wait for – all year long. I think the love expressed by Children all over the world towards their Father shouldn’t wait for Father’s Day. Mothers are felt special pretty much all year long, while father’s have to wait for this occasion – pretty unfair if you ask me 
I’m going to keep this post a little short, I am not good at conveying emotions at times but I’d like to share something about me here.
If you are a Father, I congratulate you and wish you well. I’m sure you love your kids and they do too – Indefinitely.
My Dad passed away when I was Four. From what I’ve heard from my family and my Mum, he loved me Dearly. In fact I was his favorite Son. He died when he had 2 boys and was expecting a girl [my mom was 6 months pregnant]. I am the eldest of my siblings. I’ve missed him dearly.
My dad died when he was 26 years old, I can’t bear to think how my Mom found the courage to deal with the loss and raise 3 [super-awesome] kids who drive her nuts even today. My Mother tells me he was the most organized, punctual, intelligent, well versed, articulate and handsome man she ever met. [Now that position is held by me of course apart from the organized part]
I missed my dad all my school life when he didn’t come to pick me up from school, while all the dads waited at the school gates to pick up their kids. But soon after my younger brother and sister started schooling, I took over that position and picked them from school. I’ve had to be the father figure for myself and my younger siblings quite a lot of times, may be that changed me over time in some ways too. I missed him on my Graduations, my first day at the University, when I played sports or when I discovered something super cool. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve had a fantastic childhood and a super awesome teenage, but you know there are times when just need your Dad. My Mum, however did a great job in our upbringing and was always there, so was my maternal grandma.
Filled with emotion, my writing may be all over the place right now so I’m just gonna cut it short. If your Dad is still with you, tell him you Love him. Tell him how special he is, and how much you care about him. The time is never right to say these things to our loved ones, so why wait for what you can do now. If he is not with you, pray for his soul [Whatever faith/religion you are] and wish him well.
I’m going to leave you guys with a video that conveys more things than words. Father’s are special – Make them feel so.
Hope you like the video I’ve chosen for this occasion. I will also apologies that it has taken me sometime to do a blog post and would post here more often. A lot has been going on lately, will keep you updated on that.
If you haven’t check it out yet, and are in need of graphics or mini-sites, I’ve got a special running as a pre-launch of my minisite design service. you can check it out here, Minisite Pre-launch WSO
I am also contemplating a business idea, will let you know how that goes too.

Hi Maddi,
Awesome comments about the Father that you hardly knew. Mine was with us 10 time as long as yours was, but I still miss him a lots.
Thanks for the tribute.
Best wishes,
Tom
Thanks Tom, I’ve known my father from the stories my mom told me over the years, also have known his friends that I have met. I must say, he had a great fan following for someone who wasn’t part of the google/youtube era.
Hope to see you around here often mate.
Maddi
Hi Maddi,
My Dad only died 3 years ago…. he was an old devil but I loved him too.
Now, I’m pleased to say that my 3 children and my 3 grandchildren (2 more on the way) all made contact and made my day a special one. My eldest son even took time off from a Football Match to call me from Portugal – haha, he must be missing me!!!
Thanks for the post, it was a poignant reminder that “family” mean a lot more than we sometimes credit them……… it’s a time to remember, and recall their importance.
Make sure they know it while you are still around to tell them!!
John
Taking time off from a football match to call you from Portugal? that is a LOT of love for an Englishman
Thanks John, I make sure I tell my loved ones that I love them as often as I can, however cheesy it may seem
Maddi
Maddi,
That was a beautiful tribute to your Father. You got me all teary eyed….I was fortunate to spend the day with my dad…and, I count my blessings.
Thank you Maddi for sharing your heart…
Kathy
Thank you kathy for your comment. I wasn’t expecting this kind of response, I wasn’t even sure if a detailed post about Dad’s will fit in with the blog
Glad it touched you and gave me the opportunity to share a little bit more about my self.
Maddi
Hey Maddi,
What a heart felt post, thank you for sharing an important part of your life with us.
My Dad is still alive, unfortunately I was away on sunday so I couldn’t see him, but I did call him and wish him a happy father’s day.
It’s important to tell those you love, that you love them every chance you get, sadly you never do know when it will be the last time you see them.
Sally
Hey Sally, as long as you called your dad – that makes it up. Dad’s need to know that they are loved and like I’ve said in the post, love for dad’s is under rated compared to Mums
It is definitely important, to tell them they are loved and to care about them when they need the most, specially in old age.
Thanks for dropping by Sally.
Regards,
Maddi
Hey Maddi,
Did you launch your wso yet?
I loved the videos you let me see, I was very impressed.
Sally
Hey Maddi!!
After all this time, I didn’t realize you didn’t have a Daddy!! Very sorry to hear that! I know how hard it is to lose your dad, although not at 4 years old!
My Daddy passed away on Christmas almost 10 years ago. He was the coolest Dad ever and I miss him, too! Funny how you never stop thinking abut someone even after the years go by!!
When I am having issues with the kids, I always think”what would my Daddy have done in this situation?” and it helps me raise all these kids over here!! Cause Daddy raised us alone and he did an awesome job! I hope I am half the person he is and my job will be done!
I just thank God I had my Daddy for the 36 years that I did. He was an awesome man and I am sure your Daddy was too!! Kudos to your Mom for raising y’all and having the strength to do it!
Maddi, you are an awesome guy and I am sure your Mama is proud of you! Being in the Uni and being the great person that you are and all!
Take care and holler if you need anything!
Great Post although it brought tears to my eyes!! (you have a way of bringing up feelings I kinda want to hide!! BLAH!!)
Lisa~
Hey Lisa,
Yes it is strange that we’ve been friends for quite a while and we never actually spoke about it. I know how much you love your Dad as you talk about him any chance you get, he must be Super Cool.
And I know you are a great Mum to your kids, kudos to you.
My Mum is a strong woman indeed. She did her absolute best to look after us, never letting us feel that we didn’t have our Dad with us.
Thanks Lisa, always a pleasure seeing you here.
Maddi
Maddi, Thank you for sharing. It made me cry, for so many reasons. Jo
Hello Jo, welcome to the Blog.
I see that it is your first time here, I hope to see you around very often.
I’ve just been to your blog and seen a brief video of you on youtube too, great stuff I must say. I’m impressed.
Glad you liked the post Jo,
Lets talk more.
Maddi
What a moving story Maddi. Thanks for sharing. My dad left my family when I was 13 years old. He died 10 years later. It is sad to not share those special times with a father.
We celebrate Fathers Day in September down here at the bottom of the world
Hey Michael,
That means I’ll have to remind myself in September to holler on father’s day
Good to see you here again.
It is a vital part to share the special times, something we can’t do nothing about in some cases. It only gives me more strength and determination, to be a Super Cool Dad to my kids [whenever I have them lol]
Btw Michael, why don’t we connect on skype? email me your id.
Maddi
Maddi,
This is one of the sweetest pieces I have ever seen. As a mom to 4—3 adults and a teen—I choked hard as I watched the video. I could give you a big hug for sharing from your heart so.
I am present to the thot that allll the people we “know” but we don’t know some of the integral pieces of them.
Thanks for touching my life new friend!
DeeDee, so good to see you here. Welcome dear friend.
I’m glad to be a part of your life, as much as you being a part of mine. I look forward to getting to know more of you and if I can help you in anyway. Hope you got the camstudio issue sorted
Here is a virtual hug ({)
Maddi
I’d like to apologies for late response here, I don’t know if you all noticed or not but my Blog’s appearance went all over the place last week.
Some techy stylesheet issue which I did my best to solve, with no results.
Had to change the theme temporarily, lost all my customization in the sidebars and quite a few things that I had spent some time over, setting up.
I will be looking to get a different theme or may be just this one up back to how it looked previously.
————————————-
About the post: I have been overwhelmed by the response, I couldn’t reply earlier due to the techy issues but honestly, I had no idea this post could touch you so much.
I’d like to thank old friends for the response and Welcome new friends on the Blog.
Hope to see you around often.
Warmly,
Maddi
