I sent a few Father's Day cards to Dads I thought were doing a good job, and already I've received appreciations from several, plus photos. So the good will circles around and comes back to me! And I've discovered men appreciate the cards as much as women do. Maybe more, because we gals stroke each other when and how we can. But the men are not supposed to be sentimental or recognized. I love my new policy of sending out all these cards, and forcing the two holidays to be about what it ought to be about: honoring the hard, challenging work of parenting and grandparenting.
I'm feeling really good about my effort, which only involves a couple of trips to card stores, and reaps happiness all round.
