Fathers Day via sms!

Today is Fathers Day in England. It is a day when the children take time out of their busy schedules and spend some time with their fathers. What could you expect on a day like today…A bottle of something stronger, a pair of socks, perhaps being taken out for lunch or even just having the chance to spend the day with your child, excellent thought…
I got a text message “Happy Fathers Day, sorry I can’t be there.” Very sweet, if your daughter lives in another country, or even in a different place, tied up with work…but when they live 20 minutes away it is a bit poor…What is that all about?
