Dad would have been 65 today. The first day of Summer. The longest day of the year (sure felt long today!).
Tonight our family met together and reminisced. We miss him dearly but we also rejoiced in all he left with us. There was more laughter than I thought there would be. I'm glad we didn't sing Happy Birthday because I'm certain we would have made a scene and not made it through the song, especially not the four we usually sing.
We worked with Dad.
We learned from Dad.
We laughed with/at Dad (especially those corny jokes).
We served with Dad.
We dreamed with Dad.
We shared with Dad.
Did I mention we worked with Dad?
But most importantly...
We learned how to love from Mom and Dad.
What great examples they are.
You are missed, Dad. More than words can express.
