Happy Father’s Day

I am so thankful to my hubby on this father’s day. So many times I want to think on the negative and all the things I think he doesn’t do or doesn’t say but I know he loves me and our kids and shows us in so many ways everyday. Just the fact that he goes to work everyday with the pain he is in shows how much he loves us. The love we have amazes me some days. It is hard to picture anyone being able to love each other the way we do.

I  find Father’s Day hard since my dad passed away. I wish I could give him one last phone call to say I love you . So many regrets :(  Wish I had invited him to my wedding instead of being angry at him . I was watching a wedding show the other day feeling all sad because I have never even tried on a wedding dress and feel like I missed out but I think on of the things that makes me sad is that I never walked down the aisle on my dad’s arm. Regardless of all his MANY issues I loved him so very much and still miss him like crazy. I can still hear him saying ” Jim you little shit”. I try  not to let my feelings make father’s day sad for the rest of my family. I want my children to rejoice in their father today and not worry about mommy being sad.

  1. {{{Hugs}}} Such a bittersweet day for so many people. My husband is a pastor and there are always those who in our past congregation wanted him to make a big deal of Father’s Day during the church service, but he doesn’t. He will mention Father’s Day in the closing morning prayer at church but in a way that thanks God for good fathers but also prays for those who didn’t have good fathers or good relationships with their fathers. My husband preached on Sunday morning at mission church in the downtown core and almost every man in that room had either an alcoholic father, abusive father, drug-addicted father, neglectful father, or no father. Wishing you peace!

  2. Sometimes it is hard to rejoice and be thankful , when we have pain in our hearts.When you are growing up you picture your life and what it will be like.Choices and actions of others interfer with that picture we have created, the way it was supposed to be.I know i have often told myself that things were not supposed to turn out this way ,we were suppose to live life doing what other families did , and celebrating things as a family. But i guess our Lord did not have that plan written down under our names in his book. We need to be thankful for what we have because even if things had not changed we would not have the life we now have and the special people we have in our circle of family and friends. I often think about your dad and wonder what our life would have been like if providence had not changed it. And even in times of anger and regret , the greatest gift your father gave me was three beautiful children ,whom i love with all my heart
    Love alway Mom
