Happy Father's Day

I hope you had time today to thank the fathers in your life. As most of you know, my father died when I was 15, and even though I only had those few years with him, there is so much that I am thankful for. Not only am I thankful for my father today, but also my grandfathers, brother, stepfather and uncles.... thank you. Thank you all for what you have done in my life to make me who I am today. To all of the fathers out there, thank you for... being amazed by us from the day we were born...Thank you for holding us up...
Thank you for fixing boo boos with scooby doo band aids and a dance...Thank you for helping us explore life with confidence...
Thank you for making us laugh...
Thank you for teaching us life's lessons and always making us feel secure.
Thank you for protecting us, even if from water balloons...
Thank you for making us feel like we can fly...Thank you for showing us the ocean and teaching us how to fly kites...Thank you for giving us the courage to try new things...

Thank you dads for all you have done and for making us who we are. Happy Father's Day!
