A day to celebrate and remember, honour and thank.
There are so many things that fathers do and have done over the years.
I was fortunate to have a hard working father with firm family values.
He was not given to showing of affection in a grandiose manner, more reserved, gentle and kind.
A deep thinker, an avid reader, a fixer of things...
he grew the best tomatoes in his greenhouse and we ate them well into the winter!
he influenced me in so many ways...
I miss him.
My father and Mr. HB's father passed away several years ago only a few months apart...
my BFF's father died that year too...
it's known in our circle as "The Year of the Dads"
Happy Father's Day...
and thank you...
Our son is a father and that totally moves me...
to tears...
...of joy.
