I am dreading the approach of Father's Day therefore I would like to wish you Happy Father's Day today. Like Mother's Day, every single advertisement is in full force over the past several weeks. Sunday will be another difficult day to get through, but let's first remember last year.
Ted and I headed over from The Close's house last Father's Day. We arrived to Mom's new brochetta that she tried for the first time. To our surprise, it was delicious. Mom-you were getting really good at appetizers since Dad continued to focus on the main meals. Ted and Mr. Close had built a set of cornhole boxes for Dad in the theme of the "Detroit Lions". Ted carried them out from the car and we had Dad wait inside. When I told him to come out, he beamed with excitment! The fact that they were homemade from his Son-in-law and that it featured his favorite team, made Dad so happy.
Then we went inside and gave Dad some grilling stuff from William Sonoma and a Burger Cook Book. Dad said his favorite line, "you shouldn't have" and "you're way too good to me".
No Dad. You were too good to me. To Ted. To everyone. You were just that good.
I didn't tell you enough but I pray you can here me now. You were the best Dad in the World and I will be forever thankful for having you in my life. I know I put gray hair on your head and caused you some stress through the years, but I am confident you were proud of who I've become and I know you will continue to watch down on Ted, Christina, Aydan and I as we live through life without you.
We will be visiting your resting spot on Sunday. Let's talk then.
We love and miss you always,
Your kids
