HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, EVERYONE!

Dad, your guiding hand on my shoulder will remain with me forever.

Happy Father's Day!

Don't forget to tell your Daddy/Father/Dad/Pop/Papa, etc. how much you love and appreciate him! [But you can't appreciate him as much as I appreciate my Dad because MY Dad is the BEST! SO THERE! HA!]

My Dad's a man who serves the Lord and serves his family, hardworking, loving, strong, handsome and SO many other things.

Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance.

I have many a story about my Daddy but I'll only share one today.
Sometimes Dad would get mad at Hannah and/or I for interupting him or giggling nonstop while he was talking at the kitchen table [not because it was at the table--because we were just interupting]. He'd get extremely upset and say, "Do you see my mouth flappin'?!" Of course, when he said that, we couldn't stop ourselves from bursting out laughing. I mean, how can you take someone seriously if they say "flappin'"? Then he'd get even MORE mad! He did this more than once. Then, after a while, Mom would laugh too and try to help us out by explaining why we were laughing. Then he couldn't be angry anymore. Now, it's this joke in our family. Something will happen and Dad will say, "Do you see my mouth flappin'?" =)


Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.
