Remembering our Fathers on Father’s Day
Remembering our Fathers on Father’s Day
Posted by Rosaliene Bacchus on June 17, 2012
Our fathers are rarely everything we would like them to be. Many of them focus all of their energies on their work to provide us with a safe home, a good education, and all the stuff that makes us happy.

He and his many friends went fishing; shooting birds; and hunting deer, wild pig, and wild cow (tapir). As the “cook-man” among his friends, he prepared and cooked the wild meat killed during their weekend hunting trips. “Cook-night” was party night in our back yard. [more]
