Dad's Day

Father's day is a particularly difficult day in our household, but nevertheless we are wishing all the dad's out there a happy day. We lost Rob's father two years ago this August, and I grew up largely without a father in my life so instead, we are celebrating Rob being a dad to our little MJ.

This morning I cooked a breakfast feast for the two of us and the smell of frying bacon reminded me of summer mornings spent at my Nana's sitting on the sun porch while my Granddad manned the kitchen. Even though I haven't had the strongest male presence in my life, I am so thankful for Rob and the man that he is now and will be to our future children. I see the way he acts with his niece and how he treats the women in his life and I know that he will provide that special bond between a father and a child that mom's can't seem to compete with.

 I hope everyone takes some times today to cherish the memories of their father figures or share some special moments with them today. Cheers dad's!
