I have to apologize to all our male readers out there for forgetting my traditional Father's Day post. Join me in saying Happy Father's Day all over the world.

I got so busy with life and making sure that the men in my life had a great day on Father's Day, that I forgot to write my traditional journal prompts for Father's! Please forgive me for this over sight and I pray that you will bear with me as I go back and commemorate those special someone's in our life.

1. What is the first memory you have of your father? How old were you? What was the memory? Was it good? Was it bad? Don't have a father, then why not for the sake of fun create one and go along with these prompts with us!

2. Describe your father using as many adjectives and pronouns that you can in sixty seconds. How did you do? Does the person you described sound real or make believe?

3. What was the weirdest gift you gave your father on this special day? Why did you buy it for him? Does he still have it? Why not drop what you are doing and give him a call to find out if he still does, or if you can talk to him, ask someone who might know.

4. Recall you father's hands. Describe them in your journal. Were they gentle, hard, calloused, soft, caring, etc.

5. What do you do with your dad on Father's Day each year, do you call, visit or make it a special day. Describe some of the things you've done for dear ole' dad here. This will create a memory for years to come you can reflect on.

6. What did you get or do for your dad this year. Was he pleasantly surprised or disappointed? What do you think made you purchase or make what you did and why.

7. How do you make the time to spend Father's Day with your dad as well as the other dad's for father-in-laws? Is it a scheduling nightmare? or do you take turns? Does one live closer? Share with us and your journal how you make it possible and brighten the day of those we love.

8. Do you have children? Do you include them in your father's day plans? What are some of their favorite memories of their grandfather?
