Father's Day: A bitter sweet holiday
Today has been both happy and sad. I love having a day to celebrate my husband and the wonderful father that he is but, I also miss my own father and am sad at this reminder of his lose. I have tried to be brave and put on a happy face all day but now that everyone else is in bed I am taking the time to feel what I need to feel. So this is a tribute to a man I wish I new better in life but I am grateful for all I have learned since his death about the man he was. I am thankful for the time I did have with him and for the great moments we shared together. I am grateful also that TJ was able to know him and to have some fond memories of him.

This is a beautiful post and tribute and I KNOW that your dad can see this. I KNOW he is looking down on you from Heaven.

And I KNOW he is proud of his little girl and the woman she has become.
