A day to honor all Fathers is here. This is a hard day for me. My first Father's Day without my dad. In all honesty, we never had huge family dinners like some people do on this day as we got older and busier. And I know my dad was fine with that. I would just simply go to his house, give him his gift that he declared I didn't need to buy EVERY year, and visit with him. Doesn't sound like much, and I never thought it was enough either for all he did for me...but today it seems like a lot. Today I would do anything to go over to his house, hand him a present and hear his voice tell me I didn't need to buy him anything (and I would sigh and say whatever) and then proceed to catch him up on my life. My dad was a quiet man and I did most of the talking during those visits-but he loved, sacrificed and cared and isn't that all a daughter needs to know? I miss him so much. And it makes me feel better to write about him today and declare a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to truly one of the best dads ever known.

I thought about your dad today too, and am glad you wrote about him. He was a good dad.
I love you and I love that you make me appreciate my dad and dad-in-law even more. I will be by to see you sometime this week.
Oh, Donna. You know how I felt, and still feel, about your Daddy. I'm glad you were blessed with such a wonderful one and that you have such sweet memories take you back to him.
