Dead Dad Days

Father’s Day is one of those marked days — along with July 21st, Christmas, September 11th, etc. — that have been redesignated as “Dead Dad Days” since my father passed away.  The last couple of Father’s Days were difficult because I had to spend them reading other girl’s messages of gratitude and love to their sires as part of my job, but that’s not the case this year.  This year is a little sad, though, because its the first time I’ve ever really thought about the fact I will probably never have to buy anyone fathers day gifts again.  I’ve already done the first Father’s Day for my brother-in-law that is married to my twin sister, and apparently its weird to keep doing them when the kid isn’t strictly mine, which is why I don’t do it for my boyfriend anymore.  My older sister doesn’t plan on having children with her fiancé, so that option is out.  Is it weird to buy fathers day gifts for male friends, particularly those that I’m not always in touch with?  Some of the gifts at Gourmet Gift Baskets are pretty cool, so it’s a real shame . . .
