Father's
Day is June 16, 2018. Why not honor your father from the past or in
the present. Did You Know that although the Catholic Churches
celebrated fatherhood dating back to the Middle-Ages, it was
established as a holiday on June 10, 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd? She
originally suggested June 5 her father's birthday, but the pastors
did not have enough time to prepare their sermons, so the celebration
was deferred to the third Sunday in June.

Memories
of My Father's
1.
Hair
My
father always kept his hair cut short. He would allow me to brush
his hair. When I wasn’t doing that. I was trying to straighten my
dolls hair with a real hot comb. I would put the hot comb on our
stove, which was in the middle of our front room.
2.
Stray Cat
I
remember I always cared about animals. I found a black kitten. The
kitten's eyes were all matted together. I asked my father could I
keep it and nurse it back to help. I did just that. I recall always
showing and instructing my father how to take care of the cat's eyes.
3.
Boxing
I
recall watching boxing on television with my father. He would sit and
drink Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer and smoke a big fat cigar. Sometimes he
smoked a pipe. The tobacco from the pipe would have a sweet aroma
tobacco, but the cigar just stank.
4. Birthplace
My father was from Dundee, Mississippi. He had a very strong
southern accent. He used to tell me how he picked cotton in the
cotton fields as a child. As an adult he became a Porter for a train
station. I remember riding on the train with him. The station had
a distinct business smell.
5. Soft-Spoken
My father was soft-spoken but he said what he meant and meant what
he said. He was adamant about that.
6. Transportation
Although we never had a car, we would walk or ride the bus wherever
we wanted to go. I do not remember wanting for anything.
7. Good Cook
8.
Reading
My father knew how to cook and I loved when he cooked greens, but I
hated hot water cornbread. I never have liked hot watered cornbread to this day.
I
started reading at age 3. I was hungry for knowledge. There were no
other books in the house but the Bible. I knew nothing about a
library. My father would sit patiently with me as I asked what was
this word, what was that word? I was so fascinated with the bible,
especially with God creating the world and creating Adam and Eve.
