Father’s Day always has mixed emotions for me. It makes me sad because I miss my dad a lot. It makes me think about all the times that I gave him Old Spice for Father’s Day, even though there was no way he could use all of that in a year. In fact, I don’t think I remember him using it ever. I had a great dad who showed me love far beyond the times he actually said it. So today makes think about the man I miss.
But it also makes me think my own role as a father. I am blessed to have five fantastic children. This morning Justus, Emma and Faith came into bed and gave me hugs and kisses for Father’s Day. Today Logan and Abby are over for a visit as well. I know that all five love me and I love them just as much. There are a lot of things that I do not have, but having this means that I am a very rich man.
