Father's Day

This Sunday is a very very bittersweet day. Living in Abilene for the past several years I usually spent my Father's day celebrating the one man who has always been a constant source of love, support, compassion, understanding, and guidance for me. The one man that I am guranteed no other man can live up to... my sweet Grandy.When everything else in my life seemed to be falling apart or even going great I knew I could walk into the room and he would light up making me feel like the  most special girl in the world. His renditions of "You are my Sunshine" would most often get me through the hard times. His hands holding mine would reassure me that I would never be alone and that he has my back.

My Grandy has for the longest time been "The Man in my life." He was the one who cheered me on at my softball games, through school victories, through my spiritual walk. I was the most scared to do anything to disappoint him above all others. I never wanted to have to see him look at me with any sort of disappointment or sadness, which is why in the 100 degree heat of summer I would wear jeans over to visit him and Nana to hide my tattoo. I know he had to have caught on but he Never said anything to me about it.

This father's day with the celebration that there is I am also mourning not being able to call or hug my Grandy and tell him how much I appreciate him. How grateful I am for his devotion to me and our sweet untouchable relationship. He is and will always be my sunshine! Happy Father's Day Grandy! I miss you desperately!!

I am also wishing a Very Happy Father's Day to my Dad! Our relationship continues to grow and mature. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to get to build something with you! My Dad is a very strong man and has had to fight through many battles during his years. He is an amazing Grandfather and dad. I am proud to be his one and only daughter and wish I could celebrate with you today! Happy Father's Day Dad!

My big brother is also celebrating his 2nd father's day! It is a strange thing when you watch the brother who used to torment you as a child grow up and be responsible for his own little human being. He is a Wonderful Dad to the sweetest little munchkin in the world! Happy Father's Day Ryan!
