Now that Fathers Day is over and we've had time to reflect, it would be wonderful to hear some stories regarding dear ol' dad. Whatever you're led to share is welcome.

You may have thought I didn't see, Or that I hadn't heard, Life lessons that you taught to me, But I got every word. Perhaps you thought I missed it all, And that we'd grow apart, But Dad, I picked up everything, It's written on my heart. Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be The (woman)(man) I am today; You built a strong foundation No one can take away. I've grown up with your values, And I'm very glad I did; So here's to you, dear father, From your forever grateful kid.
Although my dad has been gone for quite some time it is not just on father's day that I reflect on what he has given to me.I grew up with several siblings and we each probably thought he thought us the favorite.He was able to teach values,instill confidence,and provide unconditional love.I hope I am a quarter of what he was as a dad.Here is just a short note that he sent me on Valentine's Day many moons ago when i was 16.(he never used capitals)
happy st v day it is a glorious looking day today and that is how you should regard your life both you and your pal(the future) have plenty to offer each other and don't worry even if you fail because there is success in failure and should you fail 2 4 6 8 times so what you will make it just have faith and trust in yourself and you will make it love dad

Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.

And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.

The (woman)(man) I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.
I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

ReplyDeletehappy st v day
it is a glorious looking day today
and that is how
you should regard your life
both you and your pal(the future)
have plenty to offer each other
and don't worry
even if you fail
because there is success in failure
and should you fail 2 4 6 8 times
so what
you will make it
just have faith and trust in yourself
and you will make it
love
