Father’s Day is a hard day for me.
I have vivid memories of my dad cheering (and coaching) from the sidelines of my sporting events, misting up at my piano recitals, and telling me how proud he was after every report card. I am sad that my children won’t get to experience that same support that I know he would have shown them.
Miss you and love you, Daddy.

GREAT picture! My Daddy is gone too. Too many fatherless baby girls.
That father/daughter relationship is so precious. I know he’s smiling down at you from heaven!
Rest assured that your daddy’s love lives on in you and your brother. He taught you some amazing things, no wonder you miss such a special man!
Thanks for sharing about your dad.
Great minds think alike :-).
Actually I saw your very touching post this morning and was immediately inspired to make such a list. Thank you!
I’m so very sorry your Dad is not here “in the skin” to read your list today.
ps. want to read another really cute post along the same lines?

Ugh…
What an amazing post. I love it. The picture is so great. I’m sorry today is bittersweet for you.
It sounds like your Dad was a wonderful man. I’m sorry he’s gone.
I hope your husband had a wonderful Father’s Day.

I love this post-now that I am sobbing like a baby!
Uncle Gee brought out the best in all of us and I truly miss Him each and everyday!
