Archives For Father’s Day
Daddy’s Little Girl
I remember your
first cry
first words
first steps
Which is why I don’t understand
the reason you no longer
have time for me
care for me
honor me
love me
Today
I shed many a tear
because you were not near
On the one day I needed you
I wanted you
to listen for a moment
of just where I think we both went wrong
We both needed time
We both needed patience
We both needed understanding
The love a father has for his child
is like no other
Don’t stand in his way
He’ll never back down from a battle
Especially not when and if it is his own
Lovely daughter looking back at him
He takes no mercy
He gives no excuses,
That’s because
He’s the man who helped create
The real beauty that you are
You’ll always be Daddy’s little girl
Wont you stop by and talk for a while
Even fathers deserve second chances

Father’s Day, a day like no other. Last night I dropped off cards to my dad since I would be celebrating with my husband and our kids. My dad planned to work through Father’s Day as that is what makes him the happiest. I invited him to stop by for a barbecue lunch, he assured me that he would most likely be too busy because he had much work to do. I left the offer open.
Father’s Day morning, I went to Dunkin Donuts to pick up the breakfast requested by my husband as well as breakfast for everyone else. Today, there would be no chores for my husband outside of cleaning off the grill, and starting it up.
With 7 Children home to honor a dad the day was amazing. Our 29 year old cooked the burgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob and the Spanish rice. Everyone else supplied the laughter and smiles. The day included beautiful heart warming cards filled with love. Chewie the adorable little chitzu and the three Jealous family cats brought some amusement to the occasion. Everyone chipped in to clean up when all the fun was over. Many hugs and kisses were shared as the three oldest went on their way.
I hope that no matter what you were doing or where you were doing it, you found time to honor the father that helped you throughout the best and the worst days of your life. The father that loves you without condition. Even just a little thanks goes a long way.
Happy Father’s Day Father!
