Wishing all the dads a blessed Father’s Day.
Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond with you at bat. Then fold second base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher’s mound. Put first base and third together, bring up home plate and pin the three together. Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game and start all over again. ~Jimmy Piersal, on how to diaper a baby, 1968
A Father Is:
There in every memory
See his love and care
Strength and hands to count on
Freely he does share
Provider, toil so faithfully
To make our dreams come true
Give strong and tender discipline
Though it is hard to do
A Father is God’s chosen one
To lead the family
And point it to His will for life
Of love and harmony…

Missing mine and always thinking about him, especially this Father’s Day weekend!
Take the time to hug and kiss yours and tell him how much you love him. Never take “time” for granted, because it’s too short.
So true. I adored mine and miss him much. He was an excellent father…and handsome dude.
I always think of mine, he was my best friend, my rock. Calm and steadfast under the most harrowing of situations. He introduced me to Abbott and Costello, La Orquesta Aragon, baseball and hot dogs with mustard and lots of relish. He taught me how to fire a gun and also to waltz. I miss him every day of my life. I know he is in heaven with my Mom, his “media naranja.” He may not have been perfect, then again who is? But he was my Dad and I knew I could count on him through thick and thin, 24/7. Recently saw a bracelet with the following wording “I will never give up on you. You will never give up on me.” Had to get it, as it described our family unit to a “t.” A blessed, joyful Father’s Day to all the dads out there. To the daughters and sons lucky enough to still have your dads, treasure your time together. It passes by much, much too quickly.
Beautifully said Amiga. We will see them again, no doubt.
