Today is a very emotional day, if I think about it too much, which thankfully I haven't until writing this blog entry.
Today is my Dad's birthday.
He would have been 57.
Today is my Dad's birthday.
He would have been 57.
I could rattle off all the things that I love about him and miss about him, but I really don't want to cry to much while writing this. (For those of you that don't know, my dad died of cancer about 4 1/2 years ago)
My brother started having us get together on his birthday and death day and go to lunch together. So today we went to Wendy's (which is where we always go because my dad loved to get nuggets and frostys)
It was good to be together, but I realized that we didn't talk about him. I don't know if that was good or bad, lol
Like I said, I really don't want to cry right now,
so I found this poem about fathers!
It says what I want to say

My daddy was my hero
For my very youngest years;
.jpg)
Daddy kept me safe and happy,
And he chased away my fears.
.jpg)
I watched in awe and wonder
At each manly thing he did;
.jpg)
Oh, I looked up to my daddy,
When I was a little kid.
.jpg)
My dad was still my hero,
As the years passed,one by one.
.jpg)
He taught important lessons,
And he took some time for fun.
He was my firm foundation;
On my dad I did depend;
He was always there for me,
My dad, my guide, my friend.
.jpg)
My father is my hero,
Now that I am fully grown.
.jpg)
I love him and respect him,
The best man I've ever known.
.jpg)
I knew when I would marry
That my husband had to be
.jpg)
A great man, just like my father,
Dad, my hero you'll always be.

First, I realized the same thing. We didn't talk about him. But I don't think that's the most important part. It's that we made it a point to be together. I think he would like that.
And B, you made me cry. You're dumb.
that was so sweet.
you know i was fine reading your entry but it was the pictures that made me teary eyed. The song the luckiest was playing and it really seemed to go with the pictures. i think it is great that you shared this on your blog. thanks for tending connor on thursdays and sorry he was onrey this last one!
So maybe you didn't cry, but I did. I loved seeing all the pictures of you and him.
Yep, I cried too! I am trying to think of what else to say, but I am lost for words - actually, my mind is just lost in memories.
You know, he is smiling down at your right now!
My mother-i-l has non-curable cancer. It is so unique and rare, that the doctors don't know when, where, why, how. It is so hard for my husband and I because we want to move home to be with her so bad, but the Lord still wants us in Kentucky (seriously??????, we have to stay here????????).
So, I am sending you and your family strenth and prayers(through the internet) today.
Well Breanne this made me cry! Your Dad was an awesome man.
