My Dad
Father's Day. A day to honor, cherish, remember and spoil one of the most important persons in our lives. I can't tell you how many times in a day I honor, cherish and reflect on my Dad...not just on a day called Father's Day.
He still is a huge part of me and I continue to carry all the love and the ways that my Dad has influenced me to be the person I am today. I told Josh the other night that the relationship between a daughter and her Daddy is so powerful. I wouldn't be the person that I am without the treasured relationship I had with my Dad. I miss him more and more it seems but I am also realizing that I cannot change anything. Everything has been (and still is) all in God's hands. There are moments in the days that overwhelm me at times- both good and hard. I take these, and with God's perfect grace, I cherish the warm love and hope that is everlasting. It's a strength and comfort that can't possibly be compared.
So all those that are reading this, give your Dad (or favorite man in your life) a big squeeze, tell him how much he means to you and how much you love him. Not only on Father's Day, but many times throughout the year.
