This was done for me by a good friend of mine, whit I never ever think he regarded me this way. But after reading it I got a watery eye & I thank him from what's Left of the bottom of my heart.

Father's Day / Ironically Beautiful

Sun began rising in the sky summoning the now new morning light. letting out a big yawn, Io was just waking up from yet another small time of sleep.

As he mumble what a boring morning it was, he recalled what today's Event was, putting him in a serious thoughtful trance.

"Father's day" he whispered gently into the small room of his.

He then got up his bed and got properly dressed, with his usual white shirt, blue jeans and a pair of sneakers.

After a while of just cleaning up his room and make up his bed, the wolf/husky decided to get out of his room, and go toward the kitchen to get some breakfast.

Io, got a simple small bowl with milk in it, and made himself some cereal.

As the fellow half lupine half canine got a spoonful of the small treat he couldn't stop thinking about his past, All related toward a very unique and special person he had in his life, nothing more than his long gone father.

It's been years since he departed, and always this day would bring some long forgotten memories back to life inside his insane mind.

Without noticing lost within his repetitive actions and thoughts, Io finished his cereal.

He then immediately got his used bowl into the dishes as he began to clean it. once done, he stretched his arms a little until he felt a small crack, which relaxed the big old furry as he planned to do something else this day, besides just remembering.

He exits his house, and went toward his car.

Gently pulls the handle, opening the main door of the vehicle. He got inside, and with his keys on his paw, started the thing.

Noticing carefully around, he drove away of his home, and went into the streets.

He lost track of time as all he could think of was of "him". After a while of driving, he finally arrived into his destination.

He gently got out of his car, putting on the safe, and went into a gate with a huge mark with words on it which clearly said "cemetery".

Io walked through the piles of gravestones, looking for a very peculiar one. Until after some searching finally found, he stared deeply into the name written on it. "I don't know what to say to you, even if you're not really there, but what the hell, I may as well go crazy on visiting your grave instead of just falling asleep all day" he said toward the gravestone of his long gone father.

"Sorry about not doing this before, but it seemed so cliché" he whispered with a sad look on his face, "I didn't bring you any flowers or anything, since I know you weren't that kind of guy to received them from me. Well old geezer I just want to tell you that I'm still sorry for all those times I messed up and also that I love you".

The lupine kneeled into the grass right next to the gravestone and let out with a softly tone on his voice "Happy father's day, dad". With this, a tear came out of his eye, he then stand up, turned his back on it, walking away toward the exit as he cleaned his face with a tissue paper he had on his left pocket.

He opened the door of his car, got inside, started it, and eventually left that place.

He then got a call on his cell phone from some friends of his which invited him to go and hang out with them on a bar with their fathers.

At first he didn't wanted to go, but since he had nothing else to do, a drink wouldn't feel so bad right now.

Io went to that bar and got a fun time with his friends, just talking about random stuff and sipping a drink or two. after some hours, the fellow wolf husky said his goodbyes to the others and returned to his house.

While he was driving, almost getting home he had an awkward though, which was about him with a mate and a couple of pups. apparently all of them having fun, in a family bonding experience, as the pups yelled inside his head wishing him a happy father's day. "Too bad it isn't going to happen" he laughed a little, returning into his previous serious thoughtful mood.

As he parked his vehicle on his house, he noticed that a shadow was sitting right in front of his main door. Io, in defense growled toward the mysterious figure as he then cached up a very familiar smell. "Thanos?" he approached carefully noticing that the huskie was asleep.

A lot of thoughts went inside the lupine's head; some of them like how the hell did the little huskie knew where he exactly lived? or how long has he been out, alone outside? And why he was there? The fellow fur opened the door and carefully carried the sleeping huskie inside his home, placing him on a small chair. "Wake up huskie" he gently said with a carefully smile on his face and his paw on the other fur's head.

Thanos started to slowly open his eyes as he whispered out "Wolfey?" "Why are you here?" asked the lupine toward him.

Without any warning, the huskie placed his arms around Io's back, hugging him tightly. "Happy father's day wolfey" yelled happily Thanos wagging his tail, excited. "Awww thanks huskie, but I'm not a father" replied Io petting the head of the silly small huskie. "I know, but" the lupine made a wondering expression on his face as he looked into the canine's eyes. "Even if you're not a real father, for me you're like a fatherly figure, which even though you have made mistakes around your life and also that we don't know much stuff about each other; you sure managed To made a very special place in my life, and I couldn't be more happier about it, that's why I came here, knowing your address from a previous conversation we had, to tell you happy father's day, Io".

With this, the huskie kissed the wolf/husky's cheek, making him blush and make a big smile toward him as he hugged Thanos closer to him, embracing each other."Thanks...son"
