No Father's Day Celebration
I think that America should create a "No father Day" holiday. It will be a day to honor all the children out there who have absent fathers in there life. These children must live with all the pain of seeing there friends have a loving and caring father and all the questions in their souls as to why their "dad" doesn't want anything to do with them. They seem to endure or accept this on a day to day basis with dignity and sorrow. Father's day really throws a curve ball on these children as a day of constant reminder that there dad doesn't care about them, or worse, when they beg their dads to come over on father's day and then they sit and wait all day without a show or call. Children are an amazing lesson on forgiveness and hope. I truly hope and pray that dads everywhere will realize HOW TRULY IMPORTANT they are to their kids. My never ending love is given to these kids and pray that they know that they ARE important and very very loved. Maybe we should change father's day to "Heavenly Father's Day" so all children can enjoy a day of celebration and not sorrow.

Amen!
well there are many dads who love their children. I am a single father and my ex-wife doesn't come around she walked out of our lives because she wanted something different. I know that there are many motherless children around the world, so it's not just fathers. mothers take off too
Somrtimes the father wants to be with his children but the ex wife wants nothing to do with the father and mentally and sometimes pohysically demeans, berates and does not treat the ex husband with some kind human kindness and compassion. When a person is constantly bombbarded with words that hurt and that is all one hears why would some one want to be near that.
The Lord when asked what is the most improtant commandment, said there are but two:Love thy God above all else and love thy neighbor as thyself. We all need to think and feel what the pther person feels when we speak to them. Speak kindly to one another the world would be a nicer place. Try one act of kindness and see if it does not come back 100 fold
I don't think that the relationship is between the ex-husband and the ex-wife. If the child is older than ten or eleven years old arrangements can be made so that the ex's don't even need to talk or see each other. As long as the parent picking up the child is on time and holds true to their word there is no excuse to making a child pay for that kind of immaturity. The whole reason that people get divorced is so that they don't need to deal with each other in the first place. A father and child or a mother and child has nothing to do with the ex's. Cop out excuse if you ask me.
I agree with the last comment. I have friends that are divorced and haven't spoken in years. The father picks up the kids every other weekend and the kids are waiting outside for him. He calls all the time during the week and if the mom sees that it is him she has the kids pick up the phone. A divorce is to separate two consenting adults not separating the parents and the kids. I also believe that it is just a stupid excuse for not holding up to the responsibility given a parent.
I so totally agree Sherry, it's hard for "little" Aaron too.
Love you all
