SO TODAY IS WILL'S FIRST FATHER'S DAY. HE AND GRACIE ARE GONE TO EAT BREAKFAST WITH HIS DAD BEFORE CHURCH. AFTER CHURCH, WE'RE GOING WITH MOM AND STEVE OUT TO EAT FOR THE REST OF FATHERS' DAY. TODAY IS A DAY TO CELEBRATE DAD'S. WITHOUT DAD'S WE WOULDN'T BE HERE, YA KNOW? I WOULD JUST LIKE TO TELL EVERYONE WHO READS THIS HOW VERY GRATEFUL AND FORTUNATE I AM TO HAVE MY DAD IN MY LIFE. I KNOW EVERYONE GOES THROUGH THAT ROUGH REBELLIOUS STAGE WHEN PARENTS DIVORCE, BUT MINE LASTED A LITTLE LONGER THAN NORMAL...OVER A DECADE.
I LOST A LOT OF TIME WITH MY DAD. A LOT OF TIME THA COULD HAVE BEEN SPENT DOING THINGS TOGETHER. AND NOW THAT WE ARE GETTING ALONG, I LIVE 600 MILES AWAY WITH HIS GRAND-DAUGHTER! I DO MISS BAMA WHEN I VISIT, BUT CAROLINA IS MY HOME. MY LIFE HAS BEEN CHANGED SO MUCH SINCE I MOVED HERE. I HAD MY FIRST BOYFRIEND HERE, MET MY HUSBAND HERE, ALMOST LOST HIM HERE, GOT MARRIED AND HAD MY DAUGHTER HERE. LOTS AND LOTS OF LIFE CHANGING EVENTS. BUT ANYWAY I GOT OFF ON A TANGENT.
FOR ALL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE DADS....HAVE A SPECTACULAR DAY. SPEND IT WITH YOUR BABIES...DONT' TAKE ONE SINGLE MINUTE, GOOD OR BAD, FOR GRANTED. I KNOW I KEEP ON ABOUT THIS BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE IF SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED TO MY DADDY DURING THOSE ROUGH YEARS WE WENT THROUGH. LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT I KNOW DONT HAVE DADS ANYMORE. SO YES I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY THAT I AM LUCKY...I AM BLESSED. HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD! I MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY! I CAN'T WAIT TO HOPEFULLY SEE YOU AGAIN THIS SUMMER!
UNTIL NEXT TIME...
