Dear Ol' Dad

We had plans to spend the day with my dad to celebrate Father's Day, but sadly, dad is sick today. He came down with a wicked respiratory and sinus infection. Besides not feeling up to having company, he was thoughtful enough to not want to pass the illness along to any of us.

I found some cute pictures from the past that I wanted to share...

My sister, myself, and our dad.


Dad enjoyed playing golf, and I guess I wanted to play too. He made me a club just my size so we could putt around our back lawn together.


I'm thankful for a dad that is loving, caring, thoughtful, and giving, and even though he probably won't be reading this...


Happy Father's Day Dad,
and get well soon!

I am so sorry to hear that your father is sick - hope he feels better soon. Great pictures! It is so sweet that he made a golf club for you.

Mary-
Thanks. Old childhood photos are fun to look at aren't they?

Betsy-
I talked with my dad on the phone yesterday and even though he's still sick, he sounded so much better. Yes, it was sweet that he made me a golf club. Hey, I wonder if he still has it tucked away in the garage rafters? Probably not since they don't hang onto things like that, but I'm going to ask.
