I wrote an article about him and will probably buy him a book. He loves to read and it's the most practical gift for him. More important, we'll just spend time together, which means a lot to the both of us.

There's going to be a brunch at our neighborhood pool, which my husband said he'd like to go to. We have two young children so we will eat, swim and spend time as a family.

Both my father and stepfather are gone now, so usually I set aside some quiet time to remember each of them. A walk in the park away from all the noise helps bring back some good memories.
