Thoughts for Fathers Day

This fathers day brings mixed emotions....I feel joy and happiness for jeremy who is celebrating his very first fathers day, celebrating what a great dad he is and all he does for our family. Yet there is that part of me that is hurting knowing that this is the first fathers day without my dad.

Fathers day is a chance for us to honor those dads who are with us and those who are not, those dads who stepped up and do all the things that make them dad, and in my dads case that meant letting me do his hair...lol....It is a chance for us to honor their memory and their lives, honor the dreams they have for their children and for their families. Fathers day is so important because we can create silly home projects, that just this one time of year will bring tears to every dads eye.

Most Dads want to look back on their lives and see that their children are better people because of who they where, that they taught them how to be adults, parents, friends. They want to look back and know that when their gone they will be missed.

I did not know how I would want to honor my dad for fathers day, and then I got to thinking....I already do everyday. His greatest hope for me was happiness, and love. I sucssesfully achevied both. My fathers memory lives on in a safe place...in my heart. I miss him, I miss his laugh, his smile, his hugs that cured every hurt and tear, I miss his support and hearing him say its ok......sometimes you never truely know what people mean to you until you have to learn to live without them.

So Happy Fathers Day to my Hubby, you truely are the best dad, addie grace is very blessed to have a dad like you, I hope that you always cherish and treasure every moment with her because I know that she will. Happy Fathers Day!
