Father's day. The day we shower love and affection on our father's and bask in their manly glory. Was that too much? Haha! Okay, so it is a day of things our dad's want to do, but every so often, mine surprises me.
My dad, at least with me, isn't overly expressive when it comes to emotions, but Friday on our way home from dinner with Jan, he said to me, "you didn't need to get me a present. You are my present." That made my heart smile. When mama died he told me 'we're two peas now', but life changes things and now I share my "pea" with a smart, beautiful woman (Jan) that makes him happy, which makes me happy and she's so sweet to boot. Everyone wins! Yay!
So, to my father, my hero, thank you for always being there, thank you for teaching me so many lessons in life (even if I didn't heed them at the time, I was listening and I did learn) and thank you for just being you and for loving me unconditionally.
Until tomorrow...love your papa, or your single mom and tell them daily, how much you love them.
