Happy Father's Day!

Within the past few years, Father's Day has taken on a dual meaning for me.... celebration and remembrance.  I celebrate the wonderful father my husband is to our two beautiful children.  He teaches our kids by example to work hard, be loving, kind and generous.  He teaches our kids by hands on experience to have fun and enjoy life.  We are so lucky to have him in our lives.  As I celebrate this, I am also remembering my own amazing father; who not unlike Dan, raised his children in the exact same way.  He taught us through example that hard work pays off, love is unconditional and that faith is what is needed when times get tough. {and duck tape and WD-40 is fit for almost any fix-it situation} In his later years he showed us that life is a gift and time is fleeting.  It's hard to let a love one go...   It will be 3 years on Tuesday that my Dad was relieved of all his suffering that Alzheimer's caused.  I miss you Dad! And I love you Dan! Happy Father's Day!
