Not a Father’s Day goes by that I don’t think about grade 5 and the black and orange pen/pencil holder that I made that year for my Father’s Day gift for my Dad.  I was a bit disappointed at the final product and wished I had time to try again.  As I offered it up to him on Father’s Day morning his expressed delight erased all my unease and left only the memory of his delight.

Dad may not be here but the many, many good memories of his wonderful christian character remain!
