They say Fathers are supposed to take you for walks, hold your hand, play games with you, protect and guide you, be your champion, and your hero/king. They're supposed to give you a shoulder to cry on when you're sad, or hold your hair back when you're sick, and the list could go on, and on and on. My Dad, on the other hand, taught me to drink beer, curse my 1st bad word, showed me how to fix things, and made me get away with murder when Mom wasn't around. And I'm good with that, he was still my protector and silent cheerleader.
He wasn't one for pictures or holding hands, nor was he much of a hugger. But the older I got, the softer he became, and I could occasionally steal my hugs and kisses and get a picture in. He had a beautiful heart, as feisty as he was. I get a lot of my traits from him. None that I regret. Hmmm. Well, maybe just one...the stubbornness. My Dad is no longer with us, and I miss him dearly. He had the most uncanny way of saying things, and was one of few words; but even in silence, his love was ever present. Happy Father's Day, Daddy, 3 years and counting. Miss you loads.💔 As we celebrate Father's Day/Dad's Day/Daddy's Day today, let's celebrate our Fathers. Dads, know that you are special, loved, and cherished. Whether you are a biological father or not, be the best version of yourself for your daughters and sons. Make great memories, whether large or small.
Have a Happy Father's Day😘
