My Dad

It’s time to celebrate dads! Father’s Day is here.

First of all, my mother’s birthday is on Father’s Day this year. We always celebrate the two together.Happy Birthday, Mom! Love you bunches.

Back to my dad. I have the best dad in the world, Really, I do! I know you think yours is, but mine REALLY is. He is a great guy. Everybody loves my dad. I don’t know anyone quite like my dad. He is kind, considerate and generous. He always has time to talk and listen to anybody. Which is interesting because my dad stuttered pretty badly at one point in his life, not so much anymore. In fact, my dad was going to get his brother Larry to propose to my mom for him when my dad asked my mom to marry him. Didn’t happen that way, but so the story goes.

My dad is talented, loving, and funny. I consider myself very blessed indeed to be the daughter of both my parents. It took years (and perhaps becoming a parent myself) to fully appreciate the gift I have in my dad and my mom.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.

And since it is Father’s Day, I also want to take the time to thank my husband. Having children is the greatest blessing in my life. Being able to stay home with my kids during their growing up years and home schooling them is a gift I will always be grateful for. If it hadn’t been for my husband and his hard work and willingness to provide for us I wouldn’t have been able to do so. Thank you for that, always and forever.
