I didn't want to dwell on not having my dad today, I wanted to reflect on the great memories we made together, and there are so many, from nicknames, to wrestling, to running every night together, to our meal times, fishing trips, camping trips, wedding fun, vacations, and etc.
I also didn't want it to be a super sad day, because I have a wonderful husband who is a great dad to our boys! He loves them, plays with them, and is a role model for them!
We celebrated last night with a cookout, here was our menu: ribs, brats, corn on the cob, baked beans, beer cheese, salad, rolls, chips/dip, and strawberry shortcakes, we were miserably full!
Today I went to the cemetery with my mom, and boys, we put some Father's Day balloons on dad's grave, we are awaiting his stone to get here, it's going to be so beautiful, can't wait until it gets here! :)
Here is one of my favorite pics of my hubs and my dad, I just love it!
They are posed the same, smiling the same! This was at dad's bday last year, crazy how in one year things can change, he died 363 days from the day this pic was taken!
We also celebrated with Papaw (my FIL) last night, they came for our cookout! Here is a pic of Papaw!
I hope all 3 of these men know how much they are role models to our children, and how they are watching their every move, and how they are looking for love from them all!
My boys still talk about Poc everyday and it makes me smile, they love him, and miss him, and look up in the clouds to find him, I honestly thought my youngest would soon forget him, but not a chance!
I found some old home videos on VHS from 1994, and 1995, and I can't wait to have them put on a DVD, tomorrow I'm dropping them off and can't wait to get them back! Will be a fun popcorn/movie night!
Brandon.......you are the best father and we love you! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
