Happy Father’s Day

I was confronted by my husband on Saturday stating that his friends at work didn’t think it was fair because we always make such a big deal on Mothers Day with a big cookout picnic and we invite everyone that we know to come out and spend the day. It’s always a great time. That started last year when my mom lived with us and she wanted to do something nice and fun. We’ve done it the last 2 years but never do anything on Fathers Day.

So with less than 24 hours notice I put together a simple cookout / picnic. His family was here. Brothers and sister with their families. His mom and dad.

I had to keep myself busy because every time I looked at his dad I would start to tear up. It was a very difficult day for me but I had alot of fun with everyone. It makes me wonder if I subconsciously was avoiding a big Fathers Day deal because of the fact that dad wasn’t here anymore. But when dad was alive and he and Don (my father in law ) would get together we would tease them because they looked so much alike. It has been difficult when ever Don is around because he reminds us of dad and mom always ends up crying.

Anyway, I have a few weeks to recover because we are doing it all over again 4th of July weekend. Plus a baby shower to boot for hubby’s niece.

Dear Dad,

I know that where you are you are finally at peace. We miss you more and more every day. I can’t believe you have been gone 2 years already. You wouldn’t believe how beautiful the girls are. Of course they were beautiful when you were here but they are becoming beautiful young women. Cherokee is going to be working this summer, can you believe it?

We had a wonderful day in your honor. You were here in our hearts today and forever. We love and miss you dearly.

Love Always,
