Father's Day

When your daddy is no longer with you Father's Day can be bittersweet. I was blessed with almost 29 years of one of the best daddy's a girl could ask for. The selfish part of me, though, wants more! I want one more phone call to hear his voice. One more hug. One more piece of antique advice. One more kiss on the cheek. Knowing that isn't going to happen can bring a gut wrenching feeling in a matter of seconds. It was difficult and sad for me to scroll through facebook and Instagram and see all the pics with friends and their dads. If your dad is still around give them an extra hug or kiss on the cheek. Pick up the phone and call them. Do all the things I wish I could do. Because you never know when it might be your last. 8 years ago on Father's Day is the last time I had my dad. Louie the Dad. He fell that day and was never the same after. Several days later is when we found out he had a stroke. Some days are harder than others. Father's Day is a mix. It gives me so much pleasure to spoil Nick. All the things that made my daddy a great Father in my eyes, I see in Nick. He is the rock of the family. He is the glue that holds us together. I could not have wished for a better daddy for our kids. Seeing the man you love being a daddy makes my love for him that much greater. Plus he loves us on our bad days along with the good. He does all he can to make sure we are happy. He works harder than anyone I know. Thank you Nick for all you do as a Father (and a husband!)

Unfortunately Nick spent Father's Day at the firehouse. We gave his gift to him on Thursday ( a gift card to the shooting range and ammo to his gun). But I couldn't not show our appreciation by doing something on the day, so the kids and I stopped by the firehouse and brought him a milkshake and some cookies to share!

Happy Father's Day to all the baby daddy's of the world!!
