Happy Father's Day


It's Father's Day. A time to rejoice and reflect in what wonderful fathers we have and all the things they have taught us. Mine has taught me how to drive a lawnmower. Despite the fact that I run over the bushes, he continued to allow me to cut the grass. He taught me how to check my vehicle to make sure it was running ok. I still call him to this day the first time my vehicle starts acting up. He has taught me how important it is to teach my child religion. That I will be held accountable for their learnings which is so true. He has shown me that love can last a life time with just a little hard work from both ends. Did you read that mom, both ends :-) He has shown me that no matter how many fires a child starts in the bushes in the front yard with gasoline, he will still love me. No matter how many times I mess up he loves me. No matter how many times my brothers mess up. He loves them and is always there for them. He has shown me that you are your own parent not what your parent was. The most important thing he has taught me is to drive fast in old cars with the wind in our hair. To love the golden oldies including music and cars. I love those trips to the car shows and drag races and they will be a memory I will always treasure. I love you dad. Happy Father's Day!!
