Been thinking about my father and husband this morning. They're in Heaven together. Hubs was the only man I ever dated that my father liked. More than liked. They adored each other. I like to think of them being in a boat having fun on a Heavenly ocean.
Daddy taught me how to swim, dive, ride a bike. He patiently spent hours at the kitchen table helping me with homework. I had a mental block about learning my times tables, but he hung in there with me when I'd meltdown into a crying mess. When my class graduated from elementary school, all the girls' moms let them wear hose instead of white ankle socks for the first time. Except my mom. I was terribly upset that I'd be the only girl in ankle socks. Daddy loaded me into the car, drove me to the store, and bought hose for me. He also taught me how to dance. He would play a Glenn Miller album, let me stand on his feet and showed me the steps. He was incredibly handsome. So many wonderful memories!
Hubs was the same kind of father to our son. The boy and I will talk today about him. Remember when Dad .... It will be a good day.
Surfie, Such a kind, loving memory of your dad. You were lucky to have such a great father.
My dad taught me to ride a bike. We had the big bikes with the fat wheels. I had to start with the training wheels but not for long. I took off on that bike and rode right into a tree. I didn't get hurt. The bike didn't get hurt. but I quickly learned how to steer, and rode that bike everywhere.
Thank you for praying for me and keep 'em coming. The pain pills for my chronic pain cost $350 and we simply don't have it this month. Prayers work the best so please pray that something happens or that my pain is eased. God has always helped me with this and I need His help more than anything; I don't know what I'm going to do, so please throw me a few prayers, if you would. I'm scared.
Happy Father's Day to Phooey!
