As much as I didn't feel like doing it, I messaged H "Happy Father's Day :)". Thank god for messaging so H couldn't see the tears in my eyes or hear the sadness in my voice.
H responded with "thanks - say thanks to S2 for me too", which brought more tears, since H has had very little interest in S2 until recently. It isn't often that he specifically mentions him. (S6 was with H.)
I got H a frame and put one of my favorite recent pictures of the boys in it - from the boys of course. H seemed pleased to get it, even though he waited until I left to open it. Am I a fool to still buy gifts for him???
