Today we are honoring our fathers as we celebrate

Fathers Day!

I'm so very blessed to have my daddy!

He has always been such a strong guiding figure in 

my life.  As a teenager and into my early twenties 

I worked with my father at his business.

I learned so much about business management 

from my father.

Today, I run my own childcare/preschool

As a child I have so many very special memories

of my dad.

I can remember him holding the back of my 

bicycle seat as he ran down the street with me

and taught me how to ride my bike!

I felt so very safe and secure knowing that he 

wouldn't let me fall.

I remember when he would surprise all of us

by having us load into the car in our pajamas

and he would take us to the Drive In Movies 

or bring us for ice cream.

My father worked long hard hours to support 

our family, but he made sure that we 

had the best family vacations together!

He brought us camping, pitched a tent and cooked

big breakfasts for us over a campfire! 

We always camped right on a beautiful lake.

Then he would bring us for really fun 

boat rides and fishing trips in our family boat.

I loved to go fishing!

When I was a little older, he built a small

cottage along the lake.

Soon we stopped going up north and started to

holiday down at Cape Cod in our summer house.

Our summer holidays on the ocean were filled with

boat rides, walks on the beach and yummy BBQ'S!

I always treasured those very special weekends

that my dad would pack up the car along with my mom

and drive us all down the Cape on a Friday night.

Now my parents live down at the Cape while

they enjoy their retirement.

Our visits with them are no less special!

No matter where my parents live, 

I always feel like I've come home when I 

walk through their door.

I made this nautical themed card for my 

dad for Fathers Day because he loves the ocean so much!

Happy Fathers Day, Dear Dad!

I love you so very much!
