Hmmmm.... I feel all alone, but I will post anyway.
I've been thinking alot about Fathers these past few days. Not only was it Father's Day this past Sunday, but my younger son Alec is about to become a Father for the first time this summer. Plus this week is the anniversary of my own Father's death in 2002. I really miss him.
Each year I create some kind of card, layout or other 'work of art' for my husband honoring him on Father's Day. Not only is he a wonderful Dad, but he has raised two boys to become great Dads themselves. Our oldest son Ian is Dad to Aidan, 4 1/2. Ian's doing a wonderful job as a father, and I'm sure as a result Aidan will also be a great dad. It's amazing how Great Fatherhood seems to be something that can be passed down from generation to generation. Our younger son Alec has always loved children and babies. They glom onto him like a tick to a hound. On Father's Day, my grandnephew Brady, age 9 months, was at our family gathering, and Alec was getting in plenty of Daddy Practice Time. It was a treat to watch. I believe Motherhood is often more natural to women than Fatherhood is to men. It takes a lot of time, effort, patience and sacrifice to be a good Dad. I admire those men that make that kind of effort to be there for their kids, setting a good example, and spending time to listen and share.
I am going to share both my Father's Day layouts- for my sweet husband, and for my sweet son. I really love Fathers!
