Congratulations to Jeff and Karen Carawan and my cousins Cody and Roxanna Moore on having their first father's day. Both couples are expecting soon and we are all praying for a healthy baby girl and boy to spoil.
Today's a special day! A day to honor our fathers, and though they are not all with us it doesn't mean their spirit doesn't live on in our hearts. I'm thankful to be from a family of great men who lead by example on both sides of my family tree. From my grandfather who can boast of only being out of work two days in his life, to my uncles whose devotion to their children is awe inspiring. These men have dedicated their lives to providing for their families and raising wholesome good hearted sons and daughters. Today is your day and I'm honored to call you family.
Days like to today are bitter sweet for me. It's been several years since dad passed and at times it still feels as if he's here. My father was the greatest man I ever knew. I never told him that as much as I could have, but I did tell him I loved him every chance I could. The older I get the more I admit to myself that he was right about a lot of things. I'm grateful though that he loved me enough to let me find out for myself. It's no secret that I miss him. He was my biggest fan and best friend.
I have several friends whose fathers have passed away and they are in my prayers today. Our fathers....be thankful for the time we had with them...cherish their memories...strive to meet their expectations...and love the world the way we were loved!
Happy Father's Day Dad,
Love
