A day for Dad......

It has been awhile since I have had the opportunity to write.

What better day to catch up than today, Father's Day.

My own father is here with me on this sunny Sunday afternoon.
I am blessed. We are blessed.

In a matter of two weeks we dealt with a cancer diagnosis, a complicated surgery to remove a lobe of his lung, and now....recovery.


He is strong and ready to tackle life.
A role model like no other.


My father does his job well, and always has. He leads by example.

The nurses and doctors marvel at his recovery. They can hardly believe that this man endured a tough surgery less than a week ago and is already up, walking around, getting dressed and getting on with it.


They call it miraculous.
Dad calls it living.


Embracing life when life seems to difficult to navigate is the largest gift that a father can give his child.


My father continually shows me how to live and how to make every situation in life a positive one in the end. He was my first teacher in life.....and his lessons will always resonate in my head.

Optimism, hope, happiness and love.
With these attitudes anything is possible.


Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful men out there.
Your children will forever be touched and changed because you are in their world.
