We are up and at it early this morning to go watch my nephew, Connor, play lacrosse. We're having a fabulous weekend celebrating Father's Day with our family. Normally, the boys and I would get up and make Pat breakfast, but an 8 am game means donuts! So, I'm here typing up this early and quickly. I am so blessed to be married to the most amazing husband and incredible father to our four boys.
I'm doubly blessed that I had the most loving, encouraging father. It has been eight years since my dad has been gone. I miss him dearly. It is the little things I miss. The slight squeeze of a hand. The pride he took in a job well done. Him calling me pumpkin. Dancing with him. His laughter that filled a room. His memories are always close to my heart.
Happy Father's Day!

ReplyDeleteFather's Day is a tough one for me since my Dad passed away in 1999. I think what makes me really sad is that he didn't get to know the only 2 grandchildren that he had.
I hope you're having a fantastic evening!
Donuts are good too! and I absolutely love your card I love that sentiment I love the frame everything about it!!
