Yesterday Morgan and I went down to Fort Worth and then to Mineral Wells to have dinner with the family. My mom's side of the family gets together every Friday night for dinner. When I was single, I tried to go as much as possible. Now that I am married and live quite some distance away, I haven't gone. So we finally made the trip last night and I enjoyed it so much. I've missed those dinners. I was also so excited that one of my cousin's (who is more like a sister) and her hubby made it. Anyway, I was finally able to get the Father's Day Card from my dad that I said I would post. It's got to be the best Father's Day Card for him. Once my brother and I got the same father's day card for my dad. Really? Out of allllllllll of the cards out there, we got the same one for him. haha! Wish I could have been the one to get this card for my dad. ;)
HE GOT ALL KINDS OF JOBS-FIXING YOUR BIKE, KILLING BUGS,
CHECKING FOR MONSTERS UNDER THE BED SO YOU COULD SLEEP.
HE HELPED YOU MOVE, CHECKED YOUR OIL, SLIPPED YOU
EXTRA CASH WHEN YOU WERE BROKE. THE REWARDS WEREN'T
BIG, BUT HE DIDN'T CARE. IT WAS ENOUGH FOR HIM TO WATCH
YOU GROW, HEAR YOU LAUGH, KNOW THAT YOU WERE SAFE
AND HAPPY AND WOULD GROW UP TO BE REASONABLY CONTENT.
AND WITHOUT EVER EXCHANGING A WORD ON THE SUBJECT, HE TAUGHT
YOU ALL ABOUT LOVE-HOW IT'S VERY OFTEN IN THE LITTLE
THINGS. THAT IT MAKES A WHOLE LIFETIME OF DIFFERENCE
TO A CHILD. THAT HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE, THIS UNSUNG
AND UTTERLY DEVOTED MAN, YOUR ONE AND ONLY DAD.
THERE'S SIMPLY NO WAY TO COUNT THE WAYS YOU'VE CARED,
THE TIMES YOU'VE BEEN THERE. HOW LUCKY FOR ME
TO HAVE A DAD LIKE YOU.
It's like this card was written for my dad.
