Happy Saturday, GrayViners!

Can you believe Father’s Day is tomorrow? Whether you're honoring your dad, your husband, your son, or another beloved father figure, we’d love to know: What are your Father’s Day plans?

Maybe it’s a backyard BBQ, a video call, a trip to the lake, or simply raising a glass in memory. Share your plans in the comments—you might just inspire someone else’s perfect day.

Looking forward to reading your responses!

With love,
Sophia

I lite a candle in remembrance of my father and post a Father’s Day message with a picture of him on Facebook.

Since I raised my twins alone, after my divorce, without child support, I feel proud...not so much of myself, but of the beautiful, accomplished women my girls have become. Thru marriages and raising children, thru eay and difficult times. They have made me proud to say they are my daughters, and I'm proud they also consider me their father!!

We have 4 kids. Our oldest passed away from cancer in 2017. So our 3 kids are coming over with the grandkids. I am so blessed with my husband. Only our youngest is his biological daughter. They welcomed him into the family when they were 12 and 10. He is Dad to them all. Really worked out well

That candle and Facebook tribute sound so lovely. Such a thoughtful way to keep your dad close.

Wow. You raised twins on your own, and now they’re thriving women? That’s incredible. Sounds like they got their strength from you. Proud dad and mom, what a role to fill.

I really felt this one because my mom raised me on her own too, juggling three jobs. It’s a kind of strength that sticks with you forever.

Your story just melted me. Blended families can be so special, and it sounds like yours is full of love and togetherness. I hope you enjoyed every minute with those grandkids last weekend!
